World War 2 Tabletop Wargaming

Another epic game of Chain of Command yesterday at my wargaming club. Set in France in 1940, A French chasseur platoon attempted to block the passage of Schutzen Platoon from a Panzer Division. Despite losing two jump off points, the fire from the Chasseurs starting taking a toll on the Germans forcing some elements to pull back. The panzer III advanced and exchanged shots with the Renault R35 until the French tank commander was killed. The panzer III was blinded by a barrage of smoke bombs care of the French mortar team while the French deploy an antitank gun. The panzer pressed ahead but the gun crew scored a hit killing the panzer's driver. One of the French section's broke under concentrated fire from two German sections. The French had fought bravely but their morale was becoming fragile under the German attack.

Gorgeous terrain! I play some wargames now and then with friends who like WW2 minis. They tend to run more naval games than land battles for whatever reason.

Did the French retreat off the board in this match?
