Overview:

The initial goal was to capture the bridges over Maas River intact. Overhead, gliders laden with engineers silently descended on Fort Eben-Emael and the bridges across the nearby Albert Canal. The roar of motorcycles and armoured cars filled the sleepy streets of Maastricht, as reconnaissance units raced westwards, hoping to capture the bridges before the Dutch could destroy them.
Attacker: German (7 Aurfklarungabteilung)

2020-08-01(A) Dave Mareske vs Dan Best German winEncountering only dummy counters on board 51, the Germans made their way to confront the Dutch defenses on board 23. A slow attack by the Germans whittled away the defenses. A clear win for the Germans, who had some close calls with their armored cars (breaking both MA, getting stunned and getting Shocked) but neither turned into wrecks by the Dutch. The Germans were not able to prevent the Dutch from getting within three hexes of the German controlled bridges.
2020-07-30(D) Indy Lagu vs Rob Oler Dutch winRob (German) pushed hard with one squad on a motorcycle and an AC.

Both got close to the bridge. An ATR shot took out the
AC and the squad was broken after riding out lots of defensive fire shots. The squad was quite isolated and ended up surrendering. Another squad was KIA trying to drive through some residual fire.

Rob thinks he played poorly. I disagree somewhat...he was a bit
too aggressive at first. His options were fairly limited rather
quickly.

I think this one is a bit tough on the Germans. Even though they are all elite, there's only six squads and therefore cannot afford
too many brokies. Plus, the Dutch have 9 (green) squads to
start with.

Perhaps the fact that Rob lost two squads so early is why I have rated this one a 5.

We will try this again next week. The partly variable OBs (common in Lone Canuck scenarios) are very welcome.
