Overview:

The German invasion of the Netherlands included landing airborne troops tasked with capturing a string of strategic bridges. The bridge at Dordrecht was the objective of 3. Kompanie, Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 1. On their route of advance they ran into a motley Dutch garrison stationed in the suburb of Krispijn: the 1st Depot Company, trained at bridge construction and torpedo gunnery. Like all Dutch troops, they lacked combat readiness and ammunition. Unlike most Dutch troops, they were led by capable and determined NCOs.
Attacker: German (3. Kompanie, Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 1, 1. Fallschirmjäger-Division)
Defender: Dutch (1e Depot Kompagnie, Pontonniers en Torpedisten, Kantonnement Dordrecht)

2024-06-03(A) Dave Mareske vs Paul Works Dutch winSome badly timed CC for the Germans left them unable to capture enough buildings for the win. Well-played by Paul who had some low rolls in the middle part of the game breaking the German morale.
2024-05-15(A) Craig Renier vs Alessandro Demichelis German win
2024-05-12(A) Doug McMullen vs DutchD German winPlayed this in round 5 of the eASL tourney vs Rich Jenulis. I rolled well early and got off to a great start. And things clicked into place from there. FWIW I think I actually managed my troops on assault well, hitting weak points without exposing myself to too much fire. Rich had a few unforced errors and my dice were extremely good the whole game.. so this one didn't go the distance. But that said I am impressed with this scenario design. I would play it again tomorrow from either side. It is imo one of the best small, infantry-only (okay there are 2 trucks) scenarios out there. When you are looking for an infantry-only scenario keep this one in mind! The Germans have a tough ask... to attack AND hold ground. But the extra-bad-by-SSR Green Dutch really can't go toe to toe with the German Fallshirmjager's... they will lose any engagement where they don't have a clear advantage. The Dutch need every trick they can come up with to stay in this game, and steal back the VP locations and prevent German victory. So much replayability here. Expert players may disagree.
