Overview:

The French command reacted slowly to Rommel’s breakthrough at Avesnes. Taking advantage of the sluggish French reaction, the Germans refueled and rearmed their Panzers and on May 18th they advanced toward Le Catelet. Colonel Veron, given the task of defending the indefensible, prepared the small village garrison and the 9th Army’s headquarters staff to meet the expected German thrust. In the middle of the day, French recon units spotted their German counterparts advancing on Le Catelet from the north. A group of Panhard armored cars fought back against the lead units even as German infantry moved into position for an assault on the headquarters in the town hall. . .

2024-01-28(D) Peyton Spreacker vs German winFrench leaders (not including 8-0) were set up in HIP as close to exit roads as possible. French set up ACs spread thin resulting in a flank by all six German ACs and poor die rolls lead to the a loss of all French AFVs and the Germans had one AC and a half-track left at the end. German player blocked exit routes for French leaders with remaining AFVs and German infantry mopped up defenders in the French HQ, forcing leaders to try and exit. Exit attempt failed.
2021-12-06(D) David Garvin vs Nick Faryna French win
2021-06-16(D) Eric Partizan Eric vs French win
2021-05-09(A) Rob MacGinley vs Joe Marranca French winI seemed to have a nice beginning and rolled the French armour and inf but unable to deliver on the crossroads at the end and run out of puff
2020-11-16(A) Dwayne Duval vs Kevin Duval French winUsed German balance. The Germans stumbled straight into a well placed trap, which left their infantry units forced to try to complete their objective with all of their AFV destroyed behind them. The uncoordinated effort to make up for those early losses just added insult to injury until the attack ran out of manpower by the top of Turn 7 with no real gains by that point. The "End of the ninth" was nowhere to be seen.
