France '40 - Impossible scenario? - horthy - 01-17-2016

Hello everyone, I was playing Panzer Campaigns: France '40 and there is this scenario called "Half a days work", does anyone here succesfully completed it? I think it's impossible because it's only 6 turns long and some units only get active after 2-3 turns.

Welcome, I checked the game stats and it has been played three times with three Allied wins, are you saying it is impossible from the German POV? If so the stats might reflect that, I have the title but it is not installed on my laptop so I cant take a look.

Thank you.  Yes, I'm playing the scenario as the Germans, nearly every VP is defended by at least 2 French motorised infantry units and also with various tanks and artillery.  And like I said some German units are fixed until turn 2-3. I think it's unbalanced or it's intended to be that way to be historical. Thanks for the reply.

It is quite historical, it is one of the few French victories of the campaign. The French destroyed 160 German tanks. It enabled the French 1st Army to survive and prevent the German capture of Dunkirk. For the Germans, the main benefit was that it distracted the French from the German attack at Sedan.

I understand now. Thanks.
