Default Re: French Tanks

The French would have won the Gembloux battle if they hadn't withdrawn. to spare their surviving tanks for another battle. On paper they had many other ones , but in fact these were often outdated or not operational and experienced crews were lacking. As a result they had no more reserves for large tank battles and hoped the bunkers would replace them. Nobody expected the Germans to roll through the less denfended low countries and Sedan instead.
