The Frogs initially blunted the German advance on west side of the river with the help of their artillery and a platoon of HMGs from the east bank. The Germans were able to rally, their OBA & mortars got hot and on turns 9-10 the French right flank collapsed with the Germans advancing rapidly north. The Frogs left was able to fail back and regroup on map 30 but then again, they were hardly engaged but by this time the Germans had more than 12 town hexes under control and a 4 step lead in casualties for a minor victory at the buzzer.
