I see in the Belgian tirn he's leading with his engineers. The reason they are out in front is because they're motorised so move further than the infantry. They're also the only ones who can rebuild bridges and if for that reason alone are always worth picking off when he leaves them exposed like that.

Inside the red circle there is a German Eng unit and I made an attack against it but without success [:(]

It looks like your opponent has been a little on the cautious side. Your line is solid at Sedan-unless the German player has some new tricks up his sleeve I think you got him beat.
Thanks for doing the AAR.

Nah I don't think Bartheart can be considered beaten yet, much too cunning a player.
His next moves will even surprise the Führer. I think. LOL.

Really? I think he is in good shape given that the German units are simply unstoppable.
Look my previous post, a cavarly brigade lost the combat against a simply Eng unit. I'm playing another PBeM game as German (Bzura) and I'm winning almost every combat.
Yes, I don't start a combat without a little of preparation...
Thanks for doing the AAR.

Thanks to you, I'm glad that someone like what I'm writing [:)]

I just seen the replay, I don't know his options but the landing behind my lines was clear. Bye bye dear Allied [:'(]

France 4th turn

Rain weather turn

Command and Control level 65%

No PP points spent.

Losses: 1%

Ok, the German units are very close, in the next turn three/four French units will be hit hard at least.
He can break my defence because he has enough artillery and aircrafts to destroy one/two units per turn, therefore my objectives will be very easy: fighting withdrawal and trying to cut his supply lines.

British 4th turn

Command and Control level 80%

No PP points spent.

Losses 1%

All British Corps are close to their final destination, I changed my mind about III Corp, it will go to Beaumont and Chimay as support for French force.
Liege is falling in the enemy hands, he played a good card to achieve his aim.

Belgium 4th turn

Command and Control level 60%

8 PP points spent: I played the "Raise Division" card.
My other option was "Command & Control" but I prefer a new unit rather than more mobility, all my units are in the chosen position.

Losses 13%

A brand new division (21st) appears in Leuven but has been assigned to Cavarly HQ overload his command. I switched it to I Corp HQ.

I made some attacks pushing back two German units.

Netherlands 4th turn

Command and Control level 60%

Losses 27%

No PP points spent.

He made a good move with his airdrop on Dordrecht, this land cut the III Corp supply line. Now I have to reopen it hoping to destroy his paratroopers before other German units rush to help them.

Sorry, problem at work and other games ongoing have reduced my free time, therefore no more time to update this AAR, I really hope my opponents can keep alive his own.

Anyhow Netherlands surrender and I have some problem to stop his Panzer divisions.
I need all my troops around Paris now [:'(]
