Hannut - Move to Contact

[EdTanktread]

From the results I have seen lately, German forces are exposing themselves to fixed French Armor too early. Also, Braves (10) points is a secondary target. Yet German forces seemed fixated on it and on chasing down the French recon. As a result, they can be spotted cresting over the high ground from up to 18 hexes away. This releases over 40 Somuas & 40+ Hotchkiss tanks of the 3rd Legere' Mecanique, not to mention a boatload of 1er Reg Dragoons. I experienced this as the French side.

If the Germans have any chance in this one, they avoid visual contact with the Frenchies as long as possible. As the Germans in a mirror match, I intend to try this strategy.

Good luck!

This is a great scenario for showing that the German's did not have technological superiority at this time of the war. It was superior tactics that ensured their success in 1940.

It's one of the few scenarios where I actively feared 47mm AT guns!!!

Hi Beerweasel and Strela,
The plan of sneaking up on the French sounds interesting. Here is my recent game with Warhorse, where the distraction of Braives and very early activation of French armor are illustrated:
