I should have stated at the outset that I'm certainly not suggesting this to be an omission from the module. Generally, I don't go for such specific counterfactuals. In this case, I'd like to mess around with the Comet, which requires some modification of the actual historical situation. Taming the Panzers provides a brief description of the bridge at Lauenburg being blown with tanks of 3rd RTR only 200 yards away. This, in my opinion, gives a vaguely plausible excuse to build a campaign involving 11th Armoured Division crossing the Elbe in mid-April and, in doing so, encountering some hypothetical German armoured formation still capable of manoeuvre.

I rather like the idea of an alternate-history campaign starting with 11th Armoured Division capturing the Lauenburg railway bridge intact and racing to Berlin from there. In large part this would be an excuse to test the Comet against substantial German armoured formations under varying conditions.

I've reached the outskirts of Cologne in Spearhead (I'm girding myself for that little fight). Thus far, it's been one of the most enjoyable campaigns I've played in any CM title.
