Han-Sur-Neid, France

November 11, 1944: It will never be known who ordered the charge.
Perhaps it was Colonel Burnette, who was mortally wounded as his men neared the 100 foot bridge.
Perhaps it was simply the sight of Lieutenant Edwards' tanks edging across the unblown span that drew the men forward.
Amidst a shower of shot and shell, a small band of brave GI's, supported by three Shermans, burst across the bridge
"faster than they knew how" and then hunkered down to defend the narrow approach.

Germans: To win must eliminate most/all US squads and AFV's or capture hex 0,24.
Americans: Avoid German victory conditions.


Aftermath: The large number of wounded lying on the narrow bridge prevented any further crossing by the US tanks.
The continued battering of the far shore by German artillery limited reinforcements to small handfuls of resolute men.
Nonetheless, the GI's were able to beat back a series of uncoordinated German attacks. By nightfall, the process of clearing
the bridge had been completed and American tanks and armored infantry streamed into the town. The next day the 6th Armored and
80th Infantry Division were ready to attack out of the precious bridgehead.
