Quite a secnario this one was. Simple setup for the French-2 ESC on the Northern bridge, and 2 DRG on the Southern one. The Germans loaded on the trucks began to move out on Turn 1 and made their way to the first bridge. The 3 MTC's and an armored car moved more quickly and moved within one hex of the first bridge. With a SGT. 10-1-1, they easily withstood any OF that they recieved, and when they gained INT the next turn, they pounded the bridge on the 30 column, but only rolling a seven, and all morale checks were made. The rest of the troops move up and unload in three hexes around the first bridge. The French see the upcoming assault, and decides to move one of the DRG's into the Northern bridge. The next turn, the Germans role a 2 on the 45 and a 3 on the 30, killing 5 steps, the leader, and demoralizing the remaining half-step. The second bridge falls quickly afterword. The thing that did the trick for the Germans was the lowest reinforcement rolls that the game has ever seen. Both sides needed a 5 or 6 to receive reinforcements. The Germans had reinforcements on turn 7 and 13, the French on 2 and 13. Only the Germans received reinforcements on turn 16

The reinforcement rolls were these:

Main German reinforcements(Turn 7)-2-3-1-4-4-2-3-3-3-4-1-3-2-4-4-2-1-2-4

German PzII(Turn 13)-2-3-1-6

Main French reinforcements(Turn 2)-2-2-3-1-4-2-2-1-1-2-4-1-1-4-3-4-2-3-2-4-1-4-2

Second French Force(Turn 13)-2-1-3-2-1-4-4-3-2-3-4-1

I was astounded by these rolls, but now I know how I make morale checks so easily.
