This one is a real shootout. The setup leaves both sides in direct fire range from turn one on. Both sides make a dash for the bridge with the Axis winning but not in strength. A battle broke out in the village with both side fighting there to prevent the other from reenforcing the units fighting for the bridge. Meanwhile the Allies were able to capture the bridge at 1130 suffering 3 step losses to one for the Axis but this was the turning point. It became a defensive battle for the Allies from then on. They were slowly able to improve their position over the next 45 minutes pushing all Axis forces at least 2 hexes away from the bridge hex. From then till 1245 the Axis made repeated attacks on the Allies line suffering an additional 12 step losses to none for the Allies. The Allies did suffer a number of disruptions and demoralizations along the way but never lost a step. Consequently they were able to maintain their line intact until the Axis attack folded up. This was a good scenario. The largest factor on how the scenario goes is when and how fast the Axis reenforcement comes up. Rating 3
