We had the first half of the first battle of our second Chain of Command France 1940 campaign today (called it part-way in due to time constraints).
A German motorcycle recon platoon supported by a platoon of three Sdkfz 221 or 223 armoured cars has attacked the southern section of Montmedy and has gained a foothold across the bridge into town. Two British platoons from D Company, 12th Derwent Light Infantry, with a pair of OQF 2 pounders and at least one Vickers machine gun are holding the crossroads, despite taking some heavy fire. They have inflicted casualties on one German section and destroyed one armoured car, but it remains to be seen if they can hold on...
