Scenario ChOp002

Japanese are tasked with capturing two bridges over a major river and expanding their bridgehead by advancing 20 or more steps onto maps 114 &/ or 93 by game end, a small Chinese blocking force is going to try and prevent that from happening but they are spread thin.

The Japanese right flank had a tough time clearing the Chinese defenders due to the terrain on map 95 around the bridge which limited Japanese movement and their ability to concentrate their forces. The Japanese on this flank made slow but steady progress while routing the Chinese defenders.

On the Japanese left this force had an easier approach march to the eastern bridge, sure they took some light casualties due to Chinese OP Fire but enough good, ordered platoons were able to get adjacent to Chinese units that on the next turn the real attack began with multiple Japanese assaults to clear out the town hexes covering the bridge.

Almost gave this scenario a 2 but did not think it was that bad that I would not want to play it again to see if a different strategy could give the Chinese a victory, even if a minor one.
