A bridge, even a small one, needs more explosives than one man can carry. More some time is necessary to plant the charges and rigged them. That was not envisaged, in the scenario, since in CMFB bridges can not be blow up. The message, therefore comes to warn that the bridge is still up and to be prepared to it's use by the attacking forces. That is the way I felt it should be done, making the the scenario. Anyway at the time many units were having just the time to save their life facing a sudden and unexpected strong and wide attack.

@Erwin Scrolling throught the forum after having had a crash on my computer, I just read your comments. However, I can only take credit for "El derjine campaign" the "road to Dinas " being done by Paper Tiger. Think I will play both as soon as I can get some free time from a WIP scenario I have to start all over after its loss in the crash. No save made of it ! Thanks for the campaign comments.

Thanks for the given opportunity @kohlenklauYou are right, "Against the Odds" is historical. Not to the smallest details but to the broad scope of that battle which was probably the last one the Axis won near Berlin. The scenario starts after that victory and is centered on the manner the Axis escaped the area to get as far away from the Russians with the hope of reaching the American lines in order to surrender. The scenario depicts a rearguard fight. The goals being to attrit as much the Reds, while allowing as far as possible the units to reach the Exit zones in order to hope reaching the Americans. I have not played it H2H, but with the historical facts it is a highly challenging possibility.

These two scenarios can be played equally Red or Blue with much pleasure. Cheer

@Erwin yes, CW Mittelaschenbach and CMRT F&R Against all odds.

You are correct that's one of mine. Time frame East of France, last 1944 months.

Do not worry. "Against all odds" is a well chosen title for your campaign. It will depict perfectly the feeling the German soldiers had at the time specially for those fighting on the Eastern front. Your pictures are pretty good and the landscape makes me eager to discover your campaign when it will come to us. Thumb up !

@Mr.X Be aware that I have made a scenario named "Against all Odds" for the recent F& R release. The campaign name might confuse the players. Personally I will not be upset, if you do not change your campaign name. It will really be a fight against all odds, as it was for that war end period. BTW : good preview pictures.

That tank surely did a lot to slow down the Red wave flowing down toward Morles village. Good show.

Sure, will do it today in message.

@37mm Whow ! That was some years ago. I think that I tested the map you have in the file following the post made at the time. I have no idea who did it also at the same time. I will look at the files and it might bring me some.

@37mm Just posted a message in your box with the folder's WeTransfer link of the files seen in the two pictures. You will have some pictures of the play test I made at the time and some documents about that battle Enjoy

@37mm You are a lucky dog ! I have found the file among others in a HDD still used. Here are the pictures of the files found in the folder. I will send you tomorrow a link for obtaining them. Time for me to switch off the lights.

I Have had them for a long time, but I am afraid that they have been erased following some brush up I have made in my HDDs. Not sure at a 100%. I will have a look in older HDDs tomorrow (time to find them. After having moved out, they are still in some boxes unopened) . Just to refresh my memory, the files were done with CMFI, no ? I admit that I am not so sure ! Got the answer CMBN, that will help my research ! Remaining
