Scenario AirI019

This is just a replay of Airborne scenario 8. The same boards in the same configuration. Despite being at a disadvantage the Allies captured the bridge at 1400 on a assault that eliminated two Axis steps. The Axis reenforcements had yet to make their presence felt. At 1415 the remaining two demorialzed Axis platoons routed away from their position on a failed recovery check. This left the Allies in total control of the bridge hex despite the fact that they had two platoons demorialized themselves. Over the next several turns the Axis attempted to recover and bring up reenforcements while peppering the Allies with 81mm and 20mm fire. Unfortuntally for the Allies their demorialized platoons never recovered until it was too late. Once the Axis were reorganized they assaulted the village and the newly dug foxhole position north of the village. Despite losing a step the Allies managed to drag out the assault till 1700 when they were finally eliminated. The leader escaped to the now recovered Allied platoons. With only 4 steps left to 9 inf plus the 81mm and 20mm for the Axis the Allies retired. The Allies never had a chance in this scenario. Despite doing as well as could be expected at the beginning they were just overwhelmed at the end. Had their two demorialize platoons recovered they may have had a shot. A very long shot.
