Scenario FaoF010

The French have a weak defending force of Reservist Infantry and other heavy support units but they do have entrenchments & Casemates and they defend on the other side of the river that the Germans must cross. The Germans have a much larger and stronger Infantry & Armor force but a short time limit to get units across the River.

Being that the French have no Idea where the Germans will cross the river, they have to spread out too much for this weak force and the Germans have three Engineer units and lot of smoke to make the crossing with. The Germans have 42 steps, while the French only have 25 steps if you count the Casemates so the Germans just need to have more steps on the other side of the river to win. They blow a hole through one of the Casemates and pour units through under the cover of Artillery & smoke and the French do not have any kind of reaction force to counter this and lose the battle. A Major German Victory. Not enough units for the French to cover the whole line and the French HMG can only move one hex per turn and the other units are too weak to counter the stronger Grossdeutschland Infantry units. The French would have to get lucky to win this one.
