GIA TAHGC 308 "HAN-SUR-NEID"

Updated 050304; rev 1.0


HAN-SUR-NEID, FRANCE, November 11, 1944: It will never be known who ordered the charge. Perhaps it was Colonel Burnette, who was mortally wounded as his men neared the 100 foot bridge. Perhaps it was simply the sight of Lt. Edwards' tanks edging across the unblown span that drew the men forward. Amidst a shower of shot and shell, a small band of brave GIs, supported by three Shermans, burst across the bridge "faster that they knew how" and then hunkered down to defend the narrow approach.

VICTORY CONDITIONS: To win, the German must kill, capture, or currently have broken at game's end all US squads, plus destroy of force abandonment of all US AFVs OR instead of the previous conditions, enter 7I1 with one unbroken German squad and leader on foot. The US player wins by avoiding German Victory Conditions.

SPECIAL SCENARIO RULES:
AFTERMATH: The large number of wounded lying on the narrow bridge prevented any further crossing by US tanks. there continued battering of the far shore by German artillery limited infantry reinforcements to small handfuls of resolute men. Nonetheless, the GIs were able to beat back a series of uncoordinated German attacks. By nightfall, the process of clearing the bridge had been completed and the American tanks and armored infantry streamed into the town. The next day the 6th Armored and 80th Infantry Division were ready to attack out of the precious bridgehead.
