| Hearty Soviet Airborne Troops head for the Bridges. |
This one is a mighty clash from quite a few months ago, 6mm Team Yankee. A powerful Soviet Armoured force attempts to outflank the main West German lines by taking three unguarded bridges. A Soviet Airborne Company is dropped in & holds the bridges, Soviet Armour races along to relieve them. Too late, the West German Commander sees the danger & dispatches a West German Mechanized force to try & stop them...
