Consider this a Kobayashi Maru scenario. You can't win but see how well you can lose.

DRG Comment

I had read someplace that Graebner had a past history of this kind of bold action that had worked.......things like that work until they don't. The fact that he had just been awarded the KC less than a month before may have been a contributing factor

I DO like the Kobayashi Maru reference

according to this.....https://military.wikia.org/wiki/Vikt...d_Gr%C3%A4bner

the battle lasted 2 hours

The first five German armored cars of the column managed to make it across the bridge unscathed due to the fact that they took the defenders by surprise. The British had laid mines on the bridge's approaches and these were expertly avoided by the speeding German drivers. In the resultant two-hour battle, the battalion was beaten back with heavy losses in which 12 out of the 22 vehicles were destroyed or knocked out and over 70 men killed, including Gräbner who was killed in action during the assault.

Methinks there is a larger Kobayashi Maru test in this.......even though the only way to beat Kobayashi Maru is to cheat
