And so the mighty Blitzkrieg rolled inexorably into La Belle France. The ominous sight of a force of gray Panzers faced their garishly camouflaged adversaries. This was only matched by the equally weird sight of Chris clad in beret and stripey T-shirt guzzling cheese and wine.
The Germans entered the board. One formation advanced along the Northern edge of the table whilst Tony took his PzII south.
Chris advanced with his CharB and mighty H-39 in the South whilst the Somuas took centre and North.
With their numerical advantage the Germans began to pepper the French with gunfire, but the Somuas and CharB proved more than adequately armoured. Their guns were also pretty decent, as Rob’s 38(T) found to its cost. Boom!
Somehow the Germans managed to get a 3:1 advantage against Phil’s Somua but despite damage it fought on. A tough nut to crack!
Tony’s nippy PzII roared into action running rings round the ponderous Char B, but failed to kill the heavily armoured behemoth even when firing from into its rear.
Then catastrophe, the pugnacious H-39 delivered the killing blow to the PzII and in the Northern sector Phil’s Somua forced Tony’s MkIV crew to abandon ship due to heavy damage.
Dave’s 38(T) was finally hunted down and destroyed like a dog by Malcolm’s Somua.
The French had won a magnificent victory. 4 Nazi tanks destroyed or abandoned for no losses.
Chris continued his modest repast….
