Forcing Bridges against ZOC

[jonnymacbrown]

"I cannot speak for PzC games, but i have used this rule a few times in F14 games, of course i plastered the defenders with ranged field gun and MG fire for several moves to try to leave the defending battalions disrupted and unable to assault the units that had crossed, it may be the case that the large number of FG/MG units in F14 that can fire 2+ hex's may make this new rule more effective than in PzC games where units with a SA range of 2+ hex's are quite rare?"

Yes, those MG & arty units in F 14 pack a lot of punch because most of the defending units have a defense of 5 or 6 as opposed to 16 in Panzer games. Load them up where you want to cross and even if your bridgehead is reduced you can still chew up the attackers real bad. jonny
