Case Yellow Olivier34 Allies vs Keunert

Post by olivier34 »

Keunert and I had started a case yellow with free setup allowed for both sides. After a few turns, we realised that there had a problem with the morale values of the low countrys and we had to stop this game. Too bad because it was quiet interesting. The free setup allow the french to build his line of defense the first day. A major help. For the Germans, it allows to surprise his opponent. I had to do some recon, move forward some units to figure out what was the plan of Keunert.
We have decided to start a classic Case Yellow. We both think that this scenario is not well balanced and easy to win has the german. I have seen that Keunert knows very well how to use the powerful german army. I will try to hold has much as I can and we may have very exciting last turns to play.

I have a plan that I will stick to. The ten first turns, I have to move enough troops to get those Dyle points. Not doing that is suicidal. The allied countrys lose morale as a penalty.
But I will not move the 7A french army into Belgium ! Only the BEF will provide those Dyle points. In fact the Dyle point system should be change to force the 7A army to move toward Netherlands...
In my previous games I have used my pps to get some extra infantry. I will instead keep them and replace Weygand (around the 17th of May).I hope that when all my front will have to retreat (It will happend [8|], not to early I hope), a better Command and Control will help to escape the encirclement.
For the low countrys, I will this time avoid the fight as much as I can. If Netherlands could hold until the 15th and Belgium until the 23th, I will be happy.

16th of May,
Netherlands would have surrender if Keunert had used the terror bombing card.

18 MAY
2A sector.
The Dyle plan has to be canceled very soon. I feel a little nervous. The second army will be abble to slowly retreat. What will happen when my first army near Beaumont will be attacked. At least I hope to hold two-three days and counter attack if possible but I fear that my opponent will crush my DLMs by air and I may never be abble to launch such an attack. [:(]

You welcome Rosseau. Don't be sorry to interrupt. I get to few comments about other player. It could be cool if I can get some ideas or thoughts to try to improve my game and my defense against Keunert Hordes. [;)]
