Allies consolidate holdings in south, Grave Bridge lives up to its name for Allies!

Two battles took place this week as the Allies won both initiative rolls and attacked the Albert Canal Bridge again and the Grave Bridge. In both cases the allied generals could count on their armor superiority to outnumber the defending Germans. This was especially true at the Albert Canal where, despite previous failed attempts, the Allies were finally able to over come the Luftwaffe bridge defenders with alarming ease.
At the head of the armored vanguard a brutal battle costing many lives was fought over the Grave Bridge as the German defenders fought bravely to keep the bridge open long enough to withdraw the bulk of their forces to the other side and maintain control of the far bank.This they succeeded in valiantly and in the end, the incensed Allies were forced to call it a day and yield the battleground, withdrawing to the Vokel Road to reorganize their forces.

Strategic moves did not take place as the Grave Bridge battle raged on until 11pm. We will do those this coming week.
