Historical Background
Hannut, Belgium - May 12, 1940. Adopting the Dyle Plan, the cavalry corps of Gen. Prioux moves into Belgium, ahead
of Gen. Blanchard's 1st Army to confront the German invaders. Near Hannut, French scout units find themselves facing
incoming fire from frontline German units. From there on, their mission is to hold back or at least delay the Germans -
hoping to gain time for the slower Allied corps elements deploying along the Dyle. The two light motorized divisions
(DLM) of Gen. Prioux bear the brunt of the assault, facing two formidable Panzer divisions and five supporting infantry
divisions. Despite this unequal match of forces, the 2nd and 3rd DLM manage to hold the Germans back for two days,
saving the Dyle Plan. On May 14, decimated but their mission accomplished, the DLMs withdraw to the rear.
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
