Fall 1944..
Allied forces pushing Southward and East from Normandy encounter fierce resistance as they penetrate deeper towards the border of Germany.
German forces have been retreating but resistance to the ALLIED advance has been growing as AXIS forces consolidate.
Allied units have penetrated the front, and units operate behind the enemy lines to pinpoint the key crossings and facilitate actions to secure them. The allied forces do not want to permit the German forces to retreat over the bridges nor do they want to permit them to destroy them.
Near a Village a small bridge spans a deep channel, but in the harried retreat of the German Army every crossing is vital. Vital to the Germans moving their remaining forces East, and Vital to the Allies to cut off retreating German Armour.
Mission: Allied Forces
Recce the defenses of the German forces defending the Town and develop a plan of attack to seize the Town and hold it until the Scheduled Advance of the Allied main forces arrives
Mission AXIS forces.
Occupy the nearby village as a HQ for the German forces
Put the locals to work in improving the defenses.
Civilians : villagers and local farmers are just trying to get by, but many have taken up arms and become partisans working to liberate their occupied homelands. With the invasion of the ALLIED expeditionary forces, rumors of the retreat of the Germans, and the advance of the ALLIED forces has emboldened many civilians to take up arms against the AXIS forces
