Scenario J: The Attack on the Dyle Bridge
On the 15th May the British had destroyed the bridge over the river Dyle, however enough debris remained for the Germans to effect repairs. 'D' Company 2DLI defended the bridge throughout the day and it was during this action that Lieutenant Richard Annand was awarded the Victoria Cross. The weight of the German attack eventually convinced the battalion that they would need to fall back to the higher ground behind the bridge.
During the previous games the 31st Division has infiltrated through to the south of the position and captured the Chateau as a staging area for a flank attack. The moat of the Chateau is shown on the southern edge of the map.
Chain of Command scenario six, 'attack on an objective' will be used for this game. The British receive two free entrenchments, and have somehow persuaded a troop of Vickers MkVI recce tanks to take part in the defence.
