On the Western Front... The French line along the Somme between Amiens and the coast is broken by the attacks of 15th Panzer Corps after a vigorous struggle. Rommel's 7th Panzer Division makes the largest gains. Between Amiens and Peronne, Kleist's Panzer Group is still being held, but farther inland Guderian's divisions are seizing bridgeheads over the Aisne in preliminary attacks.

On the MAW Front... MAW has gone Gold & is being prepared for initial distribution.
