They could not break out of the area though until the morning of May 15 but then by evening that day they had reached Montcornet. The GE 4/32 ID reached Givet on May 13 late in the day and next morning crossed the river North and South of the city. On the morning of May 15, 1940 Givet was captured by the IR 94/32 ID.

On May 17 the French 4eDCR attacked German supply and support units of the 1Pz and 10Pz reaching Montcornet but without infantry they could not hold the ground gained.

Thank you! However, I noticed that the game doesn't open on Win 10 using the Matrix version. It says 'Failed to initialise Steam'. I don't have Steam.

The previous version worked fine.

Thank you for the heads up....

Any additional info you can give might help trouble shoot the problem.
- For TLD you do not have it installed in Steam.
- What version of TLD are you running? Based on you having this issue it is v5.50.32?
- Do you have any other CC title purchased from Steam?
- Do you have any other CC title purchased from GOG?


Wondering if its a registry entry to do with the latest patches....

The CCEMeuse.exe file was added to the installer for Steam users in the last release and worked fine for GOG and Matrix users. Try changing the Meuse Mod shortcut on the desktop back to the regular CCE,exe.

- Right click on the mod icon and select properties
- In the Target box change CCEMeuse.exe to CCE.exe. Be sure to leave the rest of the text alone.
- Click the Apply button
- Double-click on the Meuse mod icon top start the game and mod
