Scenario RtDk004

Despite the fixation on the main bridge being blown, footbridges exist on both the northern and southern edge of the N/S river in the middle of the map. I spent the first five turns getting the Germans into position, ready to attack the thinly screened Brits, who are forced to concentrate in a few areas. While these strong points managed to hold out for several turns of assaults, destroying 3 German steps by turn 9, they were overwhelmed by the sheer weight of German assaults. German artillery was able to devastate the British infantry in the middle with repeat bombardments from both on and off map resources. With the Brits pinned, the German engineers were able to repair the main bridge by around turn 14, right as the British reinforcements were coming up to center and German infantry had routed the British troops on the flanks. Through envelopment, the British infantry moving up were crushed in detail, leaving the British with major casualties, around 9 steps lost and lots of demoralized men running away. Germans lost 4 steps in total.

OK but remember that the German may only cross the river in the area between the marshes.
