Description provided by Zilla Blitz on YouTube:

In this video I play a full game turn with Old School Tactical Volume 5 - Battle for France 1940 and offer up some impressions of gameplay. This is the latest volume in Flying Pig Games' World War 2 tactical combat system.

So this attack should have been carried out on the -4 column, not the -3 column. 2 - 22:48 - Group Moves (moving two units together), requires an attached leader, so this movement should have been done over two separate impulses. 2 - 25:32 - A group Assault Move like that would have needed to have a leader attached, so what should have happened is that one squad only could have moved into melee. Once that happens, the melee hex is "locked" and the second French squad could not have entered.

About Old School Tactical: Volume 5 – Battle for France 1940, from BoardGameGeek:

Old School Tactical: Battle for France 1940 is a tactical boardgame that puts you in command during one of World War II's most pivotal early campaigns. Fast, deadly and unforgiving, it captures the chaos of blitzkrieg warfare as German forces surge through France and the Low Countries. Players control squads, tanks and support units across richly detailed maps, making split-second decisions that echo the real challenges of small-unit combat. From desperate rearguard actions to armored spearheads, every scenario is a test of strategy, timing, and nerve.
