Sedan - Field Marshal - previous DV

Starting with 3030 prestige, down to 2100 after elite reinforcements and I have the first 13 strength units now.

One my PzIVDs got +1 movement, but was brought down to 1HP during the AI turn, trying to keep it alive and being able to reinforce it up to 10HP was quite intense...

The units at the airfield at 2,12 looked too passive to me when I reached it at turn 10 (both the planes and ground units just sat there), they went active at turn 11.

And I got a Somua S35 for capturing Margut.

The battle was over by turn 15/18, but I kept playing again. With 3 Stukas, 2 Bf109Es and 1 Bf110D achieving and maintaining air superiority was not that hard and the tanks in the Bulson area were fairly easy to dispatch. With my troop setup this was was too easy I think, but with fewer planes/artillery I can imagine that the difficulty would be about right.

At turn 16 the AI spawned 6 units (3 AT - largely useless IMO even if I had lots of tanks around there, 1 infantry, 1 artillery and 1 AAA) - at the end of the turn 1 AT was left with 3HP.

DV at turn 18/18 with no units lost and 2850 prestige by my units in need of some repairs.

Sedan on Colonel level.

It went as smooth as with the first beta test. I liked the counter-attacks and the enemy aircraft. I was never really worried once during this scenario. My 4 Bf109 kept the aircraft away and the stuka's had fun with the enemy armour.
So Sedan is overrun rather fast if you can shell it with 4 3-Star and 13str artillery. The enemy AA is too light when my aircraft were softening up the units there.
Further down on both sides there is a counter-attack but (too) easily repelled.

It is just a pity that valuable units, like armour, don't run off to a safer place under the umbrella of an AA gun or a fighter plane, but just don't move and get destroyed (in 2-3 turns) by a stuka. Same remark for the Stonne mission.

It is a great mission thou and fun to play. 13/18 turns i needed and finished with 876 prestige.

I didn't get the Somua, maybe because there is one of my units standing on its deployment hex?

I just wanted to chime in that I also got a Souma for caputuring Margul! Super awesome stuff, I was going to be satisified with being able to capture a Char but a Souma is just icing on the cake. Can't wait to use these bad boys against the Soviets: Napoleon's revanche!
