link "In many ways the strategic and political situation facing General Dwight Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of Allied Expeditionary Forces, in February 1945 was eerily similar to the previous August. After the fierce and desperate battles in the autumn and winter of 1944, the Western Allies were once again advancing along a broad front and closing in on Germany. The River Rhine remained the last physical and psychological barrier between the Western Allies and the industrial heartland of Germany, known as the Ruhr. How to cross that obstacle and which armies would go on to secure the German heartland was a matter of contention with both Eisenhower's subordinates and superiors." link

What sre the 15mm model options out there for this bridge?

As the Ludendorff Bridge is 325 m (1,066 ft) long I doubt it would fit on most tables, but you could build the approaches they would be big enough

Many years ago now someone did a 20mm resin version of the bridge. A few years ago a friend of mine in California was able to snag one the guy who built it still had. It was his last one and missing a few pieces. In the process of replacing the missing pieces, nothing major, and will run the game using 15mm. Sorry, don't remember the manufacturer but perhaps someone else has more information.

Thanks for that Truscott Trotter. It is a shame it is no longer available, it really is a nice kit. But at the price, and with limited use, can understand why not a best seller.
