France 1940 B8d

[Airluca]

Turn 8 03/06/1940

AGN main effort is in the coastal area :
I and XI Corps ,after the rest of army group has cleaned the Pocket of 2nd Army
and 3rd Corps, are now assaulting Dunkerque , supply situation is starting to give
trouble so some units will be given a full turn rest in a "decent" position to reorganize
after the last fight (got some unit in orange and aolso red status)

The rest of the AG corps are finishing off the Huge British pocket and will aim for Rouen
as soon as this fight are ended

AGC with the support of two PZ Corps is closing the trap around the bulk of the french forces,
the chain is very thin as lot of troops are still engaged in fight against trapped french
defenders in the north , if it can hold for one or two turn all this french men will have
no other choice than surrender, as the gap is filled some unit will be sent forward to
test Paris defences and the chance of a counter attack in this critical phase



AGS XII and XXX corps will drive full speed south-west trying to assicure all the brdige
and railroad for the second part of the operation, delaying french reserves ,18th Army
and XIX PZ corps will follow as the battle for Djion is won .





The rest of the army group is keeping it's pressure against Nancy and Metz , the fight
is turning in a WWI trench-like combat so OKW will have to decide either if stopping
the advance and fortify in the current position or divert some troops(expecially armored ones)
from the south and gain some numeric and mobility superiority
