ASL - Race for the Meuse

In the early morning hours of 10 May 1940, a single code word "Danzig" was transmitted to German forces and at 04:30, German panzers crossed the border into the Netherlands, announcing the start of the Blitzkrieg in the west.

 Without encountering any major obstacles, the reconnaissance elements of the 1.Panzerdivision rushed through Luxembourg, crossing the 50 kilometers before the inhabitants were even awakened, and reaching the Belgian border at Martelange at 07.45 hours. The German plan called for an attack on Martelange by the Marschgruppe Voraus - a motorcycle company supported by armored cars - and then an attack on Bodange by the entire Advance Guard.

This tactical mission (TM) revolves around the efforts of the 5th Belgian Company, 1st Regiment of Chasseurs Ardennais, which valiantly tries to slow down the Germans' race towards the Meuse. This TM is compatible with MMP's ASL system and can be modified for use with other miniature wargaming systems.

The Tactical Mission Pack includes 1 Tactical Mission (aka Campaign Game) + 5 Scenarios played on a historical map (24½"x 35" with standard 7/8" ASL hexes) of the Sure Valley; between the villages of Wisembach and Bodange, located 3 kilometers west of the Belgian-Luxembourg border.
