Turn 5 - I've chosen to drop the bulk of all three Airborne Divisions at Koblenz. Hopefully this will ensure the securing of that area and the bridges. I have faith in the ground forces ability to reach them and secure the ground corridor.
The US 82 and 101st Airborne Divisions have landed on the east side of Koblenz and attacked to secure the Pfaffendorfer Brucke and Sudbrucke. The Germans blew the Sudbrucke but the 82nd has captured the Pfaffendorfer Bridge.
The British 1st Airborne has landed north, west and south of Koblenz. Their task was to clear out the area of Koblenz west of the Rhine, and to capture the two bridges over the Mosel River. The Germans have blown the Mosel Brucke, but the British have captured the other one (I can't find what the name of this bridge was in 1944, if anyone knows, I can add it to the map).
EDIT: Someone was kind enough to forward the bridge info to me. The one in question was called the Adolph Hitler Bridge in 1944, so no wonder I could find no mention of it. Although this thread is old, I wanted to update this info so that if anyone else ever comes across this, they won't go looking for the bridge name.
At the northern part of the map there are other bridges over the Rhine, and part of the 1st AB has been tasked with blocking German units coming from that direction. As long as the Koblenz bridges are held the northern bridges aren't important, so the British will opt to blow them and fall back (as lead elements of the 9SS Pz Div have shown up).
