I thought the game looked good - gotta like those sailormen! - and the action plausible. I like to imagine even 'one-off' actions as part of a campaign. As such this would have been quite a plausible attempt to 'bounce' a river crossing against unexpectedly strong opposition.

One less wood covering the river would have made life a bit easier for the Germans.
