0513_01b: The Crisis at Sedan (stronger French & German) - PzC 12 France '40

Sedan, France, 13th May 1940: Guderian has an important task to accomplish: take Sedan. His XIX. PzK is a formidable force: 3 Pz Divisions (1., 2. and 10. Panzer Division) and the Grossdeutschland Regiment and to help him in his task the VIII. FliegeKorp will provide some additional "flying artillery". In front of this powerful force is the 2nd French Army commanded by Huntziger. Huntziger's orders are simple, to stop any German troops trying to pass through his sector. To accomplish this task he doesn't have the best divisions. The 55th and 71st Divisions are from the old reserve. Huntziger has spent the winter asking for more artillery, but nobody believes that anything could happen at Sedan. Who would be crazy enough to try to cross the Ardennes and the Meuse River with tanks? [Size medium] In this "What-if" scenario The 2nd Army is reinforced by 3e DIM and 3e DCR, these two divisions were originally scheduled to counterattack on the 15th, but the attack was never materialized. On the German side the 29th Inf Div (mot) will arrive as reinforcement.
