Overview:

The blitzkrieg in the West had begun. German forces were pouring into France at breakneck speeds. Bridges on the Moselle had been captured undamaged and the advance elements of the 34th infantry Division started to cross as soon as the obstacles installed on the bridges had been removed. One such bridge lay on the outskirts of the French town of Aessan. The job of holding this key objective was given to specially trained and equipped glider troops. As they arrived, they were joined by Vorausabteilung A which had brought up a 37mm anti-tank gun. At midday the 4th Spahis Regiment, supported by Hotchkiss H-35 tanks, counterattacked the bridge at Aessan.
Attacker: French (4ème Régiment de Spahis)
Defender: German (Luftlandekommando Hedderich and Vorausabteilung A, Infanterie-Division 34)

2022-03-10(A) Grant Linneberg vs Asad Rustum German win
2022-01-16(A) David Garvin vs Robert Schaaf French winCame to the final turn. My tanks were able to be the key in this one, freezing his forces and sacrificing infantry in order to get the final road hexes. Still, came to the final DR in CC. I got exactly what I needed and eliminated his crew while surviving for the win.

2021-07-19(A) Kevin Duval vs Dwayne Duval German winUsed French balance. Tough German defense kept the French from capturing even one VC hex. French AFV got split up and could not make NTCs for non-Platoon movement which ultimately cost the French the game.
