Cool occurence

[Joe1960]

Was defending against the Russians on the Eastern Front in early 1943.

My left flank was hard pressed as the (AI Tank Heavy) force was pushing with KV's. T-34's, and assorted light tanks. To my front was a lake/river with two bridges crossing it. Not the only route to my left flank but the easiest and most direct one for the AI.

I was preparing to either reinforce or fall back when I remembered (after having read it here) that heavy arty can destroy bridges.

I called in a mission on each bridge not having a clear LOS on either. On my third shot the nearest bridge was hit and went down followed by a message that a KV-1 and T-26 were destroyed - presumably by falling into the river with the collapsing bridge!

How cool was that!

Those are great moments. When I played SP 1 "back in the day" I used to put engineers next to bridges when I was defending because if a tank tried to roll over it, the engineer would assault with a satchal charge that would drop the bridge. Instant kill every time . That's called using the terrain to your advantage. Keep it up.
