Scenario 19 from the Winter Storm Campaign: Chain of Command

A “one off” go at scenario 19 of the Winter Storm Chain of Command campaign.  The objective is for the German Panzer Grenadiers  to race and capture the bridge over Mushkova River before the Soviets can blowit up. The only amendment we made was to give the German a ‘Red Dice’ rather than the extra  Command dice, suggested by the scenario. After a successful patrol phase they deployed flanking the bridge. 

Despite the a sense of urgency and a rush for the bridge the Soviets put up a stiff defence, driving two Zugs off the bridge and destroying a tank whic got itself isolated without infantry support as the Germans tried and tried again to force their way over and create a bridgehead.

With growing desperation the Germans attempted a final push, but a lack of coordination between units bought enough time for the Soviets to spend a Chain of Command dice to blow the bridge. What a fun afternoon of toy soldiers where the result went down to the wire.
