## Briefings

Emergency development, Mein General! The French are mobilizing!

Intelligence reports the French 3rd and 4th Armies are on the move, and they are approaching the Siegfried Line as we speak.

Generaloberst von Witzleben of the German 1st Army is sending us into action immediately with orders to delay the French advance.

**Primary Objective: Deploy a minefield to impede the French.**

**Bonus Objective: Deploy 3 minefields to impede the French**

**Bonus Objective: Deploy 6 minefields to impede the French.**

Our first mission is to lay down some minefields, to slow one French Army before we take on the other.

To lay a minefield, simply move any one of these special minelayer auxiliaries...

Directly to any of these marked locations.

Replacement minelayers are not available, so take extra care not to lose them all!

Watch out for the French vanguard units, they will surely not remain idle while you mine their lines of advance.

To victory, for Germany!

### Debriefing

Mein General, I have an urgent report for your attention.

It looks like your efforts against the French 4th Army produced the success we were hoping for. Scattering their forward vanguard and seeding the entire region with minefields has brought their advance to a virtual standstill.

Therefore, Generaloberst von Witzleben is redeploying our forces west to engage the French 3rd Army.

The Generaloberst thinks the dense Warndt Forest could be an ideal location to stall another French advance, and I am inclined to agree.

We had best get the men moving quickly though. The faster and harder we strike, the more we will discourage the French from seriously pressing their offensive.

**Historically, the French Saar Offensive would indeed begin with a painfully slow start. The French defensive mindset meant they were ill-equipped and ill-prepared to deal with minefields and booby traps that the numerically inferior Germans set up.**

* Mein General, I just learned that one of our Feldwebels is due to transfer to Poland. I've come to know him, and I think Feldwebel Kerscher has a promising career as a tank commander ahead of him. Using your considerable infleunce, I'm certain that issuing him a promotion to Oberfeldwebel would allow us to keep him in our ranks.
