Forêt d'Ecouves, South of Argentan: August 12th, 1944. (Scenario Size: Battalion-. Head to Head or French Human vs AI) The French 2nd Armored Division was ordered to bypass the Forêt d'Ecouves and push on to Argentan. The French commander General Leclerc decided that the forest might hide significant enemy forces and sent two of his task forces to the east and west of the forest and one through the centre from the south. The centre force (RMSM) was stopped on the southern fringe by entrenched Germans and it was decided to send a relieving force from the north. Units from Grp Tactique Waraboit pushed south along the road traversing the forest hoping to assist their stalled colleagues.

As Allied player, I had a hard time moving my units through all of the forest hexs, even while trying to use a primary road. During the first 5 turns, there was no contact with the enemy, just moving units. Needless to say it was on the boring side, as a whole.

Not a very enthralling scenario...and not long enough or enough units to have much variability in a plan for both sides.
Kind Regards,

Seemed like an easy win for the Allies but I've not seen the German side.
