PzC France 1940 help

[Panzer VI]

Just picked up my first HPS Sims game after many many years of being hesitant and only playing Battlefront or Matrix titles.

France 1940 is just the grognardy title I was looking for but I have some questions and maybe you all can point me the right way.

1) is the getting started section the only tutorial?

2) Is that scenario designed for German fail? It is a tough one and in 8 turns I cannot reach the 2nd objectives it is very hard to break that french line

See my attached screenshot.

Is the game primarily about attrition? It seems hard to destroy enemy units?

This is my first encounter with the game system as I am used to Eastern Front etc etc it has a different combat look with the morale and fatigue and such.

Thanks for all help!

Welcome.

1) Yes, but there are plenty of other smaller scenarios to warm up. However, the getting started scenario is the only on with a written walkthrough.

2) No, you just can't be afraid to push forward.

Very rarely did units get decimated to the point of no return. This isn't a simple game, it's a simulation. Just like in real warfare, your goal is not to completely destroy the enemy, but to break the enemy and cause them to retreat from the objective. It's more "pushing" each the enemy out of the way than actually destroying. However, I've seen plenty of times where units are completely wiped out. My point is- you don't need to completely eliminate the enemy to win.
