France'40

On Friday Richard and I revisited France'40.  I was the Germans and everything was going well, too well perhaps, until...

 Day 1 and the Germans are across the Meuse in three places.

 Day 2 and a French counterattack at Sedan failed,

while Charleville has been surrounded and isolated.

 Day 3 and a breakout has occured to the south,

while the Belgians in Namur have come under attack.

 Day 4 saw a more successful French counterattack,

but just look at that concentration of panzer divisions in the centre.

 Day 5 and the French army is close to breaking.

Oh no!

We forgot that French divisions have three steps not two...

Day 6 and the Germans have broken out.

The Hitler Halt has been invoked,

but realising the French have been handicapped by missing out on remnants,

I was happy to call a halt to the game.

But we will play it again as it is a fun, quick game using the excellent system that GMT have developed for WW2 operations.
