I didn’t have any trucks. BF havn’t released them yet and I didn’t think I would miss them.

1.       Game 1. Lasse – Shutzen

Misson : Hold the Line

Roll of resulted in me attacking. I could have used my trucks L Most of the game was at shoot out with Lasse Pz III. My inf. move slowly forward and got MG’ed

2-5

2.       Game 2. Vagn – Shutzen

Mission: Free for all

The battle was centered a round a wood in the middle of the board.  I succeed in focusing all of min armor at one unit.

6-1

3.       Games 3. Michael – Czech Panzer

Mission: Encounter

Only my S-35 where a match for the Pz38. My H-39 unit was too small and under gunned in the firefight.  Michael pushed me from an objective and won

1-6

Result:

Micheal: Tjekkisk Panzer kompagni - 18 point
Jan: Fransk Kavaleri Tank kompagni - 12 point
Christian: Fransk Motoriset infanteri - 9 point
Lasse: Tysk Shutzen kompagni - 8 point
Vagn: Tysk Shutzen kompagni - 8 ponit
Team Hobro - Britisk Rifle kompagni - 7 point

Thoughts on early war French:

The amour should be played like soviet armour. Agressiv, massed at one target.

The inf. didn’t do much. Most of time it was place on objectives. When it moved it usual died. It didn’t fire a single time in 3 games. 

 Game 1, line up and ready to go

 Getting MG'ed
