A small but interesting scenario. The French set up their main defensive position in the town adjacent to the two bridges. They place the 25mm portee trucks on the left and right flanks to provide overwatch fire against any vehicle approach to the bridges.

The Germans set up east of the bridges with a main force to head for the bridges and a small flanking force to cross the river east of the bridges.

The scenario starts out with the Germans sending the ENG and one HMG due south to cross the river well east of the main French position. They send the remainder of their force west towards the bridges. Initial French fire is ineffective.

The flanking German force begins to cross the river, and the German 37mm destroys the right flanking French portee. The French reinforcement force enters north of the river and west of the Germans.

The Germans send their main force towards the bridge with their flnking force finishing their river crossing. The western French force heads for the right flank of the main German force.

The German main force begins an assault on the French forces in the town just south of the bridge. The flanking French force sets up north of the main German force for fire. The Germans send half of their main force to deal with this new threat. This German force then assaults the northern French force.

The fight basically breaks down into two assault hexes: one in the woods above the river, and one in the town just south of the river. The Germans have superior morale, but the French have defensive terrain bonus. Fire is exchanged for several turns, but in the end, both sides take significant casulties. By the end of the game, the Germans have inflicted more step losses on the French, but the French were able to maintain control over more bridge and town VP locations, and squeak out a 1 VP advantage over the Germans for the victory.
