\"wargame<\/a>Lors du passage en France de notre S\u00e9bastien, nous avons r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 jouer plusieurs parties. Puis j’ai affront\u00e9 de nouveau Luc \u00e0 la place de S\u00e9b. ( j’ai tard\u00e9 m\u00e9chamment pour \u00e9crire ces articles, j’en suis d\u00e9sol\u00e9 !)<\/p>\n

While Sebastien was here in France, we played several games. Then I played again for him against Luc and his german. I was late for writing this AAR, please forgive me.<\/span><\/p>\n

R\u00e9sum\u00e9 des \u00e9pisodes pr\u00e9c\u00e9dents : ( articles ici<\/a> <<\u00a0 ) Givet est plus ou moins d\u00e9fendu par des troupes fran\u00e7aises, command\u00e9es par S\u00e9bastien. Celui \u00e7i s’attend au pire sur sa gauche ( Nord-Est ) et a cr\u00e9\u00e9 une position d\u00e9fensive en arri\u00e8re. Les allemands de Luc attaquent Givet, et profitent d’une trahison ( une sombre histoire d’\u00e9cluse sur le canal ) pour contourner Givet par le Sud-Ouest.<\/p>\n

( Previous posts <<<\/a> here ) The french forces hold Givet and were under attack. The french officer (Sebastien aka LeManchou ) also kept a small defense force in the rear, he was afraid of his left wing ( North-East). The german attacked, and, with some help from a traitor, also crossed a channel south of Givet. This small campaign, unbalanced, allowed us to write our very simple campaign rules. We started before the release of the campaign rules for CoC \u00ab\u00a0at the shar end\u00a0\u00bb. We used 10mm minis, mainly from<\/span> Pendraken<\/a>, and the rules<\/span> Chain of Command<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cette mini campagne ( figurines 10mm Pendraken<\/a> pour la plupart, et r\u00e8gles Chain of Command<\/a> ) , pas du tout \u00e9quilibr\u00e9e, nous en \u00e9tions\u00a0 conscient d\u00e8s le d\u00e9but, nous aura permis de peaufiner un syst\u00e8me tr\u00e8s simple. Nous l’avions commenc\u00e9 avant la parution de l’extension ‘campagne’ pour Chain of Command \u00ab\u00a0at the sharp end<\/em>\u00ab\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Les combats se d\u00e9roulent en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral \u00e0 l’avantage des allemands ( Luc ayant beaucoup de chance, \u00e7a aide ! \ud83d\ude09 ) Mais les fran\u00e7ais r\u00e9sistent. Voici un r\u00e9sum\u00e9 des derniers combats que nous avons jou\u00e9 il y a 1 d\u00e9j\u00e0 plus d’un mois ( j’ai honte ! )<\/p>\n

Luc was lucky ( Lucky Luke ! ) but there were some serious fights<\/span>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tentative de d\u00e9gagement au sud-ouest<\/h1>\n

Une unit\u00e9 allemande s’est profond\u00e9ment enfonc\u00e9e dans la campagne fran\u00e7aise. S\u00e9bastien dispose de troupes fra\u00eeches et contre attaque sur son flanc. A german unit advanced deep in the country. But the french hold a unit and counter attacked on the flank<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

French soldiers charged<\/p><\/div>\n

Les allemands organisent leur d\u00e9fense :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

German Pak in defense.<\/p><\/div>\n

Des H39 arrivent ! Ils ont un Senior Leader<\/em> pour les commander :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

( Some H39 came, with a Senior Leader )<\/p><\/div>\n

La situation devient intenable pour les allemands, pris sur deux flancs :<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

( the german couldn't hold, attacked on two flanks )<\/p><\/div>\n

Les chars repoussent facilement les allemands …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n <\/p>\n

Un train d’artillerie allemand s’enfuit.. sans son canon !<\/p>\n

A german carruage fled.. without his gun !<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Victoire fran\u00e7aise. Mais ce n’est qu’une victoire tactique qui ne d\u00e9cide en rien du sort de la bataille.<\/p>\n

A french victory, but it didn’t change the battle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assaut sur un village<\/h1>\n

Une autre attaque a ensuite eu lieu (parmi d’autres), dans laquelle les fran\u00e7ais essay\u00e8rent de reprendre un village, avec un carrefour strat\u00e9gique, d’o\u00f9 ils avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 chass\u00e9s par l’avanc\u00e9e fulgurante des allemands.<\/p>\n

Another french attack on a village (among many others), where the french tried to get back a crossroad. They had been driven away by a quick german advance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

( a quiet village .. )<\/p><\/div>\n

Dans ce village bien calme, l’enfer va se d\u00e9cha\u00eener !<\/p>\n

Le mortier allemand est bien trop avanc\u00e9 et subi les premi\u00e8res pertes :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

( this mortar was too close and suffered the first casualties )<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

( .. but the french also suffered. This team broke and ran away )<\/p><\/div>\n

Mais les fran\u00e7ais aussi souffrent. Cette \u00e9quipe casse et s’enfuit.<\/p>\n

Un panzer allemand en position …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

( a german panzer in position .. )<\/p><\/div>\n

.. fait un carton sur les chars fran\u00e7ais mal command\u00e9s ( pas de radio ! \ud83d\ude41 )<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

( .. shot the french tanks. They were bdaly commanded, as they didn't have no radios )<\/p><\/div>\n

L’\u00e9quipage du 1er char se fait la belle :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

( french crew ran away )<\/p><\/div>\n

Le moral des fran\u00e7ais (que je jouait pour S\u00e9bastien) sera tomb\u00e9 de 10 \u00e0 6 en UN TOUR ! \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

( French moral - I was playing them for Sebastien - dropped from 10 to 6 in ONE TURN ! \ud83d\ude41 )<\/p><\/div>\n

La victoire est allemande.. pourtant il aurait \u00e9t\u00e9 possible aux Fran\u00e7ais de reprendre ce fichu village…<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>

( A german victory. But it should have been french... )<\/p><\/div>\n

Pendant ce temps, au nord de Givet<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>Le nord de Givet est toujours tenu par des fran\u00e7ais, qui ont eu deux jours pour se retrancher.<\/p>\n

Luc d\u00e9cide de nettoyer la poche.Il ne sait pas que ces troupes fran\u00e7aises sont costauds.<\/p>\n

(d\u00e9sol\u00e9 pour la faible qualit\u00e9 des images, manque de lumi\u00e8re).<\/p>\n

In the north of Givet, some french had two days for building entrenchments and defenses. <\/span><\/p>\n

Luc decided to clean this pocket. He didn’t knew the french were strong.<\/span><\/p>\n

(sorry for the bad quality of this pics, poor lights ..)<\/span><\/p>\n

Les chars allemands arrivent en force d\u00e8s le d\u00e9but ( Luc tu es chanceux !! ), un de mes canons AT est en embuscade et ouvre le feu, 2 fois …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

( Luc sent his panzers in the first phases. He's always lucky !! One of my ATG was waiting, and fired twice .. )<\/p><\/div>\n

.. et rate. Les panzers r\u00e9pliquent, et UN survivant de mon \u00e9quipe anti char s’enfuit… \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

( .. and missed. The panzers fired, and ONE survivor fled... \ud83d\ude41 )<\/p><\/div>\n

Les chars fran\u00e7ais arrivent au compte goutte..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

( french tanks came one after the other ... )<\/p><\/div>\n

.. Et se font cueillir au fur et \u00e0 mesure !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

( .. and were shot as they came ! )<\/p><\/div>\n

Les allemands restent ma\u00eetres du terrain. Pourtant le plan fran\u00e7ais n’\u00e9tait pas mauvais !<\/h3>\n
\"\"<\/a>

( the german hold the ground. But the french plan was good ! )<\/p><\/div>\n

Les sections fran\u00e7aises avaient bien progress\u00e9, soutenues par l’\u00e9quipe de tromblon VB – bien que S\u00e9bastien ne semble pas convaincu par leur efficacit\u00e9). J’ai mal plac\u00e9 mon champ de mines.. et je n’ai pas eu de chances avec mes anti chars. Du coup la bataille s’est d\u00e9roul\u00e9 avec un avantage num\u00e9rique allemand, alors que \u00e7a aurait d\u00fb \u00eatre l’inverse !<\/p>\n

Tour 7, perc\u00e9e allemande<\/h1>\n
\"\"<\/a>

( final breakthrough )<\/p><\/div>\n

L’avantage allemand semble net maintenant.<\/p>\n

D’autant que les stukas ont ralenti les quelques renforts fran\u00e7ais qui arrivaient du N-O ( 1 chance sur 6.. pas ! Lucky Luc !! \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n

La compagnie \u00ab\u00a0A\u00a0\u00bb qui d\u00e9fend en profondeur subit le choc des panzers. Elle se regroupe en catastophe ( je lui inflige des points de malus pour cela) et va tenter de bloquer l’avance allemande. En effet, ces panzers sont un peu isol\u00e9s quand m\u00eame…<\/p>\n

German advantage is obvious now. <\/span><\/p>\n

And the stukas stopped some french reinforcements ( 1 on 1d6, Lucky Luc again ! )<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u00ab\u00a0A\u00a0\u00bb company hastily reformed ( I gave it some malus for this ), and will try to stop the german. The panzers are isolated..<\/span><\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

Les fran\u00e7ais attendent de pied ferme :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

( french waiting for the german )<\/p><\/div>\n

Les chars allemands sont cueillis d\u00e8s leur arriv\u00e9e :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

( german tanks suffered as soon as they came )<\/p><\/div>\n

Mais se d\u00e9fendent, et d\u00e9truisent – comme d’habitude –\u00a0 mon anti char !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

( but the german panzers destroyed my ATG, as usual !... )<\/p><\/div>\n

Les chars fran\u00e7ais forment alors une ligne (d\u00e9sol\u00e9, pas de photo \ud83d\ude41 ) sur laquelle butent les allemands. Le combat devient une bataille d’attrition.. \u00e0 ce jeu l\u00e0, les fran\u00e7ais ne peuvent pas gagner, car leur moral est de 8, alors que celui des allemands est de 11.<\/p>\n

French tank formed a line ( sorry, no pics \ud83d\ude41 ) and stopped the german. It turned to a battle of attrition, where the french couldn’t win : their morale was 8, and the german morale was 11 !<\/span><\/p>\n

Les fran\u00e7ais se battent pourtant avec courage,\u00a0 on voit ici l’effet d’un barrage de mortiers sur les troupes allemandes, clou\u00e9es :<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

( the french fought fiercely. Here we see a french mortar fire on german soldiers, pinned )<\/p><\/div>\n

Mais, assez rapidement, le moral fran\u00e7ais baisse, entra\u00eenant la perte de d\u00e9s de commandement. C’en est fait, je dois c\u00e9der le terrain. La route nord-ouest est ouverte aux panzers, deux mois de tourmente vont s’abattre sur la France…<\/p>\n

But soon I lost some dice, as my morale was down. I had to withdraw. It’s all over now, the north-west road is opened to the german panzers. Two months of storm will blow France…<\/span><\/p>\n

Victoire allemande dans cette mini campagne ! German Victory !<\/h2>\n

Tout d’abord je dois remercier mes deux adversaires Luc et S\u00e9bastien, de s’\u00eatre pr\u00eat\u00e9s au jeu, avec des r\u00e8gles de campagne qui ont \u00e9volu\u00e9 au fur et \u00e0 mesure des tours. Cela nous a permis de jouer ( certaines parties en solo, ce qui \u00e9tait le but premier, certaines parties ensemble, ce qui est encore plus cool !)<\/p>\n

Le sc\u00e9nario n’\u00e9tait pas \u00e9quilibr\u00e9 ( historique ? \ud83d\ude09 )et ma malchance proverbiale a fait le reste. ( noter que j’ai un peu plus de chance quand je joue contre S\u00e9bastien ! )<\/p>\n

First I want to thank my two opponents, Sebastien and Luc, who agreed to play this campaign, where rules changed from one tunr to another. It allowed us to play, some solo games – it was the aim of this – and some game between us, which is really cool !<\/span><\/p>\n

The game was unbalanced ( Historical ? \ud83d\ude09 ) and I was sometimes very unlucky – as usual ! ( I had more luck against Sebastien ! )<\/span><\/p>\n

Merci encore, et \u00e0 bient\u00f4t pour une autre mini campagne ! Thank you again, see you soon for another mini-campaign !<\/h4>\n
