Scenario 12: An Unfortunate Oversight

 Despite the Red General's orders to hold the bridge, his main objective is keeping hold of the hill. Blue's objective is the hill alone and he knows about the ford that is, unfortunately, overlooked by Red due to poor reconnaissance. 

Blue sends half of his force to attack the town; the rest will tackle the hill

Red concentrates on what he believes to be the only crossing point


Once aware of the threat, Red rushes troops to counter it

Fierce fighting breaks out in the town

Red has lost control of the bridge but is holding the hill 

Blue's attack on the hill stalls

The Blue General sensing defeat leads a mad charge through the town

The hill attack has been slowly reducing the defenders

and on Turn 11 Red's CO is killed and Exhaustion Point reached, though they still hold the hill

Blue is heartened by the enemy's loss and presses on

Blue takes full control of the hill


Turn 15, the battle ends. Decisive Blue victory.

A very nice scenario with both fighting in a built up area and an assault on a hill. Definitely one to play again.
