Race for the bridges |
---|
Played this one solo in three sessions (wish I had a whole day, but no..) Beautiful middle sized scenario where the Germans make a run for the intact bridges over the Lomme. The French can blow them with their 2 Engineer units. The blowing was no success, by 15.00 only 3 of them were destroyed. The german attack was 2-pronged, one group for the northern bridges and one for the south. A small detachment with the Engineer unit went to center to force a crossing there. The french held out in the north, but to the south they had to let go of 2 bridges by 2.30. By 3.30 the germans managed to cross the needed amount of steps for a major victory. However, the battle was hard-fought. The germans lost more than 20 steps in total enough for a french major victory. Net result: draw. Noteworthies: The 4 25mm en portee managed very well. Although 2 were lost they destroyed 5 german APC steps. The river crossing was a success, although the detachment was too small to do any further harm. |
