"Hold the Bridge till the Last Bullet"

German Wehrmacht Units Holding the Tree Line

Situation: January, 1945 - Your standard Wehrmacht units have been retreating for several weeks across Romania and Hungary. Finally, you have been ordered to dig in and hold a position. Your units have dug along a tree line not far from Duisburg where there is a bridge crossing the Danube. One report of a major Russian offensive arrived during the night. Five minutes ago, an obviously desperate radio message just arrived from Col. Coppel, your regimental CO. It stated, "Hold your position for as long as possible. The bridge at Duisburg must not fall into enemy hands. The bridge must be held till the last bullet. We are trying to break through to you." This can't be. The war is supposed to be far away.

Your units:
12 - Panzergrenadier squads
10 - Panzerfaust 100
4 - MMG
3 - Pak 40 ATG w/crews
3 - PzKfz IV F2
