my troops adjust their defenses to receive an attack at the south. Charles Huntziger , I need more forces in order not to get outflanked! The Invasion Of Belgium is only the matador's cloak! Can we get the BEF here to support us? You get Tassigny division also. I will be encircled by Bock's forces in Belgium, the troops who crossed the Sedan to the South, who are now hooking up north to outflank us. Permission to retreat and build a line of defense at the Somme? If we can hold The Somme, then we will save Paris from the advancing German tanks. I suggest Lord Gort's BEF join us there as well. Between the Maginot, and our line at the Somme, they will have a massive amount of trouble trying to break into France! |

I will still be in a three-way encirclement. I use Tassigny's infantry to build a longer defensive line to the West of the Meuse River. For French Forces only. Germans have to roll higher than a 10 to read this message. If they try to outflank us, we can counterattack and cut off their supply lines. |

The map of my lines. If they try for Paris, then they will be encircled immediately.  Roll a 6 or higher to read this. |

Most of the French Army was on the Dyle, or on the Maginot Line No, you are mistaken, cavalry was barely used. It was guarded by Charles Huntziger's army group though they were of poor quality and Huntziger didn't deploy enough troops in Sedan because he like everyone else thought Germans go for Paris so why deploy at Sedan when that will be of barely any use in advance on Paris so he deployed them south of Sedan. |

Apologies, we were forced to hold back due to some unexpected mechanical issues. |
