The first play against this worthy opponent....a simple game, but a night game...the french forces must sneak up on the weary Bosch and destroy the Bridge (5,6 with Eng). I cleverly sent one company (2 platoons+1 Eng) to cross the river to the north and attack from the east, just in case... The remaining forces came in directly too the town, but awaited developments on the east side of the river before starting to attack the Germans who had set up to the west of the bridge. After the crossing north of the bridge--the germans responded to try and keep the french away from the bridge using a platoon and officer. At that point the French jumped into Assault to pin the germans, while sneaking units onto bridge to attack the remaining unit--a mortar--bringing one of their engineers. The Assaults in the main town (near bridge) and the eastern threat both were painful for the french--losses and disruptions--but two times units went from demoralized to CLEAR with rolls of 2!!... The Capitaine and the Engineer got onto the Bridge on turn 9...on turn 10 they rolled and Viola! the Bridge was toothpicks! Vive-La-France!
