Here’s some shots of the railroad underpasses in the elevated railroad. You can get an idea of why the railroad slopes up from Ground Level to Elevated.

the Belgians won getting 3 wagons and enough infantry across to allow the engineer leader to blow the Western side. As the Belgian/French player I find it better to fire at the German stacks that can shoot the folks mucking about with the DC’s.
We found that if we gave the Belgians more they were able to turn the bridge into a fortress. Historically the Belgians blew the bridge before the column got across.
This scenario was tough to balance. The High Command wanted the bridge down and the guys doing the shooting wanted to keep the bridge up to get more of their people across.
You get screwed up things happening in war. This scenario makes for a tough day as the Allied player. The Jazzy mounted 47mm ATG’ s can be devastating vs the nazi sauerkraut cans.
And who doesn’t want to at some time in their lives want to whip the asses of the horse team doing 30 mph on a cobblestone road and pull hard on the left hand reins?
We wanted this scenario to be more than just another get X# of units across the bridge. I think it is a pretty fun play. For both sides.
