The armed half-track

[Hawk Kriegsman]

Something occurred to me, regarding this debate.
If you were holding a bridge against the enemy, i.e, Arnhem, would the defending army not block the bridge with whatever units it could, (lorries even?) to stop the enemy getting across? (If, of course, it was imperative to the defending action) ?

Yes you would and yes they did. There are all sorts of examples of this being done in an attempt to slow down the enemy.

I have never used trucks on a bridge but I have used armed halftracks on the bridge. My opponent blew away the 12 SPs worth and rendered the bridge useless.

Lesson learned by him.

He was not mad or angry and I am playing him now.

Thanx!
