I followed your set up, Task, but the two houses we were hiding nehind both got removed by shellfire. I lost the Panther almost straightaway but the Jagdpanzer then proceeded to eliminate 10 tanks in a row with no intervention from me. Needless to say there was no bottleneck at the bridge since none got near enough.
Moral leave it to the AI omce you have a ood set up and intervene only occasionally The AI is so good that it works for us as well as the enemy.
