More French reinforcements turned up from the south in the shape of 4 DCR (an armoured division) under the command of a certain Colonel De Gaulle. Soon, as well as tacking the enemy, the Colonel was sending lengthy notes to AGHQ with lots of 'helpful advice' on how to run the war. While it's appearance caused a stir, sadly his division was weaker than it looked as many subunits were still in the process of forming.
14 Panzer appeared to be a consistently well-run unit, though it was burning out by game's end.
The glorious counterattack of the French 5 DIM was all to brief - when this photo was taken many of it's stands were reduced to zero Strength Points.
23PD, 19PD and 8PD, accompanied by Korps assets.
Clearly the Korps commander felt that 23PD required close personal supervision!
While the Panzers grabbed all the glory, the footsloggers of the three infantry divisions fought several set-piece battles for important areas. Here 44ID prepares to assault the French defenders of Valenciennes.

Early war games are great, way more movement, less blasting away at range. Great game Tim
More great action Tim.
Fortress Valenciennes fights on! That is all.......

As I put the reports together I'm increasingly aware of how little I know about the details of the game! It basically ran itself after the first couple of turns.
