  1. On this date a number of French units broke contact with their German pursuers and escaped (into internment) in the Confederation of Helvetia.

    From R Stoves book on the 1st Panzer he covers this with only one line, noting that the PzRecceBtl 4 reached the Swiss border on June 17th and the following comes from the German war diary:

    Pz.Div.: receives order to turn northwest. K.1 occupies Morteau on the swiss border at 17:00. S.R.1 takes Montbeliard at 18:50.

    However from another source its says several French units crossed the border to avoid the German advance - does anyone have information on what French units these were?

    I disagree with Hans as the site is not a city but simply a halt on the line and a road junction. Linear development is therefore likely.

    The open water though is highly unlikely as it would be to precious to have evaporating away. I assume it is spring fed and would be inside a building or sub-ground

    If it is meant to be a town at an oasis then the building development would pre-date the railroad and the road and would be irregular. However there would be date palms etc around the pool to feed the natives : )

    Nice map though .... but you did ask

    I would agree with the caveat, whether its a local habitation or a colonialist construction.
  3. Nah just a guy whose job was boring for a few years!

    Have to say CM scenario production is a great hobby -reading obscure history books has been delightful and I particularly like making the maps. I've become busy again so production of scenarios will be dropping off a great deal but I should get one out once in awhile - saving strength for CMx2.

    Not a bad idea, a scenario of 200's, good one Ace, kinda of a mini-Pershotraveneve Ridge theme.
