I have just started designing another Scenerio for the Remagen Bridge as I was very taken by the excellent one designed by Juan Ramon Lopez Letamendi. I am in the process of modelling the Ludendorff Bridge and surroundings, this appears to be the easy bit, I have taken alot of ideas from the film of the same name. the only thing I'm having a problem with is order of battle for Axis and Allies. If anyone has any idea please let me know.
I know this much, when the head of Combat Command B, General William Hoge, observed that the bridge was still standing, he ordered the 27th Armored Infantry Battalion to go down the hill and attack the town of Remagen prior to possibly crossing the bridge before it was blown up. At the same time, the 14th Tank Battalion of the 9th Armored Division was ordered to proceed to the west side of the bridge after helping to clean out the defenders in the town of Remagen. General Hoge was actually violating his orders, which were to turn south to join up with General Patton's third Army etc.
I need approx numbers etc of both allies and axis and obviously equipment etc. As you can see I am trying to make this as accurate as possible.
If anyone can help I would be very grateful.
