In another context I'v stumbled over the actions of the French Cavalry Corps in Belgium 1940. Having read the article on Axishistory.com regarding the Battle of Hannut 12.-14. May 1940, it takes me to the following question:
What would happen if the French Army instead of committing 1., 2. and 3. DCR (armoured divs.) independently on 14. and 15. May 1940, had assembled the three divs. at Rheims and waited until May 16. and then launched a concentrated attack using all three at Guderians left flank at Hirson with Charleroi in Belgium as the objective?

No, I don't think the French would have put De Gaulle in overall command of the operation, but gen. Piroux, C-in-C of the French Cavalry Corps, would be the obvious choice. Piroux' corps were back in France at that date and the man could have been transferred with his staff on the 15. That would require a h... of a lot of staff/administrative work in zero time, but it was war for... and things just had to work out!

Yes, I know this might be strechting French command ability in May 1940, but they DID have a number of able/very good commanders and units, just didn't posses the overall command perspective and lacking initiative.
