Two weeks before the launch of Operation Plunder and Varsity, American forces advancing to the Rhine river noticed that the bridge at Remagen had not yet been blown by the retreating Germans.
A Company of armored infantry supported by a platoon of brandnew "Pershing" tanks set out to secure the crossing.

Advance through the city of Remagen, cross the bridge, destroy the entrance to the railway tunnel and capture the peak of the Erpeler Ley overlooking the bridge. Your Pershing tanks
are some of the first to be used in combat and losing one will earn you a high point penalty after the match.

In real life the Germans did set off the charges on the bridge as the Americans were crossing it, but failed to destroy the bridge. It became, however, temporarily uncrossable by tanks. Because of this, there is a "rough" hex blocking movement over it.
German forces around the bridge are weak, consisting of convalescent and Volkssturm troops. Flak and pioneer units are also in the vicinity and may be used to counter attack your bridgehead. We do not expect enemy tanks.
