Historical Background
On the 14th of June,the 1st Colonial Division had to defend the area between Saint Dizier and Bar-le-Duc against the panzers of Von
Runstedt Army Group. On the 15th of June, just arrived on the positions, the Colonial troops were attacked by German tanks. At that time
, it was the hour of glory for the gunners of the 1st Colonial Artillery Regiment who fired directly to the tanks and destroyed a lot of
them. But this was a temporary victory because most of them were sacrificed to cover the retreat of the infantry outflanked by enemy
tanks.
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
