Bill Slavin's recent Wetteren AAR (http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=281296) reminded me I'd promised to write up our game of the same scenario over a year ago…. Oops! Well here it is: link |

That was great to read another account. Interesting outcome. The Germans still managed to blow the bridge even with the reinforcements, and that was with just the two companies. I would say that was a very good result for the Germans. Another funny thing. I notice we both left off the woods adjacent to the bridge (I haven't mentioned this to my British player as I'm sure he would say that accounts for his loss!) Sort of a crucial bit of terrain, but it could work in either side's favour. |

It certainly is a very dense area of terrain. I should mention that the map was based on an original 1:10,000 map that was reporoduced in the REs official history, plus an RAF recce photo. |

Bill, Hell's Teeth!! I never even noticed that one. Probably because it doesn't have the dark border on the map so I overlooked it. But yes, it could be crucial as either defenders can set up within it with at least a stand (a whole troop would be too much) and it provides cover once the Germans are at that end of the bridge! |
