Struggle for Montcornet [Mission]

Nice, thanks for being so responsive and updating so frequently. This really is one of the best custom campaigns I’ve ever played!

@helodragon I played through the mission a few times as France after some small changes today; the tanks seemed to be behaving pretty well and were in the vicinity of the objectives. If the Germans do very well, they can effectively block the streets with FT-17 wrecks, but that's an acceptable situation given the circumstances.

@helodragon I am somewhat constrained by historicity. The French had essentially no infantry support in this battle, but I have been stretching the truth by giving them a good deal of infantry in all of the missions. I don't know how much further I can take it without losing the essence of the battle.

On a longer term I will use missions like this to advocate for better vehicle pathfinding and ideally for some kind of more modern light tank like the R35 which would not struggle as much.

In the interim, my solution to this problem will probably be using scripting to give tanks more explicit waypoints and to continue to make tweaks to the map geometry to improve pathfinding.

On this mission there are too many tanks on the French side. After the second sector ypu end up with like 5 tanks and maybe two infantry squads which is a problem since a lot of tanks get stuck in places. It would probably be worth replacing some of the tanks with AT infantry so that they can still deal with the panzers.
