OK I'm lost. What's the trick?

The paratroop units land, divided, in turn 1. In turn 2 the Germans rapidly move in, pushing aside units and seemingly able to reach and blow the bridges without any serious opposition. There's no time for my guys to even attempt to do anything. :cry:

Just a confirmation - I'm getting ...

3 parts is perfect - nice and succinct! Excellent work.

Yes, just came across this issue...

Just goes to show! Always scan the forum...

Just gearing up for my first play-through of this game. A great mod ... makes the map much clearer!
