Belgium, 10th May 1940: The battle in the Ardennes begins on 10th May and rages for 5 days by which time the Germans break over the Meuse River in several places and panic breaks out among the Allied command and rear areas. This scenario depicts a short subset of 0510_04: Like a Scythe through the Ardennes with Objective values and victory levels adjusted to the situation. [Size medium-large]

The scenario was very entertaining and I felt it recreates the historical battle quite well. The only problem is that victory points are counted in a way that makes it almost impossible for the allied side to win.

higher VP objectives could have been on the French side of the Meuse

A bloody affair for the French. Only holding the rivers in the beginning do they have a chance. Once the Germans get clear, they iso-kill all the French who still sit fixed and useless until too late in the game.

If you want to practice moving motorized units through rough terrain, building bridges and crossing rivers this scenario would be very useful.
Suggestions: Pay attention to the location of victory hexes and their value.
Also make sure you garrison the ones you take. You could get burned I did
