All,
If you followed my previous campaign revolving around (fictional) Kampfgruppe Klink in Poland, 1939, you'll be pleased to hear I'm almost ready ready to start KG Klink's campaign in France, 1940. I now have all forces necessary for my France 1940 campaign in my possession, though all are not yet finished…
I spent a few hours the past couple nights working on the campaign plan. Here' the beginning:
In March 1940 KG Klink was formally attached to the 7th Panzer Division for Fall Gelb. It underwent an intensive training program under LtCol Klink, overseen by General Rommel himself, in preparation for its role in the invasion of France in May 1940. Here is the plan for my campaign in France.
1. Reconnaissance at Houx, 13 May 1940 1600, German attack by recon elements to seize the village of Houx near the Dinant crossing of the Meuse River (map needed).
German OOB, attached to the 37th Reconnaissance Battalion
Armored Car Platoon
2 x Motorcycle Platoons
Machine Gun
Field Gun or Pz Mk III
French OOB, 39th Infantry Regiment, 5th Motorized Division (5 DIM)
2 x Infantry Platoons
Machine Gun or Mortar
Field Gun, Anti-Tank Gun, or H39
I wasn't going to post this, but then I looked at my blog stats and saw that my KG Klink Fall Weiss campaign plan post was actually one of my most popular posts ever.
To see the rest of plan (a total of 18 fights), please check the blog here:
