This one started. out very well for the Paras. They were able to cross the river in the east and set up a good defensive position that was not threatened the rest of the scenario. Initial contact with the Germans was quite successful. Using a combined arms attack of tanks and infantry the paras were able to shatter the forces defending to the north of the river. A combination of DF attacks followed by Assaults worked very well. These actions, however, took time and before the paras could get to the bridge the Germans had received their reinforcements. Th paras were able to set up a good position and were able to continually feed fresh troops into the fight for the bridge/town but, the German defenders were just too resilient. The paras eventually got their armor into the town but, during the next assault the Germans caused a 3 step reduction to the paras. That took the offensive power out of them and forced a withdrawal. The Germans employed the PZ IV, and engineer and a rifle platoon in the town making it a very strong position.
