Juste Jacque:

A very interesting engagement which you have narrated well. The FFL probably did the right thing by taking a more defensive stance and not moving far off the positions they took at the start of the meeting engagement. To try and manoeuvre Panhard-90’s against BMP’s and T-72’s would likely have been suicidal. The best that the FFL could hope for was a strong counter attack by fire while their infantry attacked by manoeuvre and fire. Why are the FFL using War-Pact equipment and not French VAB’s or French trucks?
