KANNE, BELGIUM, 10 May 1940: Sturmgruppe Eisen's main objective was the capture
of the bridge crossing the Albert Canal in the village of Kanne.
Five gliders landed on the plateau nearby the PC commanding strongpoints
"C", "D" and "J". Attacked by the
near with machine-pistols and grenades, the PC only gave a brief
resistance then the paratroopers quickly dispatched the squads
in the portion of "C" north of the sunken road. Victory
was just seconds away went the bridge blew up. The 15 minutes
delay taken by Sturmgruppe Eisen since Sturmgruppe Granit had
started landing on the nearby Fortress, had allowed the Belgian
command sufficient time to send firm orders to destroy the bridge.
The men in the Communication bunker were then captured or killed,
ending the initial phase of the attack.
Can you say 'Belgium'? As it seems that this tiny, war-torn nation is
gettng the lion's share of attention in the new Historical modules
> with the Hindenburg Line, Kesternich, and here with the new
KAMPFGRUPPE EISEN. One of the prettiest and most interesting
maps is at the very heart of this brand new module ... the winding
Albert Canal, the bridge at Kanne, and the glider landing in less
then ideal conditions. In addition to the brand new historical
map and new set of counters, ALL the combat counters you need
to play ... are included. All 8 scenarios play on the map ...
one we suspect you might find the most interesting, combat terrain-wise,
of any historical module to date.
Ownership of your ASLRB. All the other combat
counters needed to play are provided in the form of 368 color
die-cut counters.
