Objective

The partisans must destroy the bridge within 12 rounds to win. On any other result, the Germans win.

Destroying the Bridge
Use the rules for destroying buildings from Normandy to destroy the bridge.
The partisan demolition squads are carrying eight demolition charges.
These are the standard charges from Normandy which inflict three hits each on detonation.
The sturdy stone bridge requires nine hits to be destroyed and rolls four defense dice.
No more than four charges can be placed on the bridge at the same time.
Placing a charge on the bridge is difficult and takes the entire activation of a demolitions squad. Thiscannot be combined with movement or fire.
The charges may not be detonated as long as there are Partisan squads in the same hex as the charges.
