Belgian Counterattack*
*
Date: May 10, 1940*
*
Battle Location: Albert Canal, North of Maastricht*
*
Battle Type: Belgium advance vs Germany delay*
*
Description: German Fallschirmjaeger have parachuted in and captured two bridges over the
Albert Canal north of Maastricht, near the Belgium-Dutch border. Belgian troops are ordered to 
recapture and destroy the bridges. They must move quickly however before German army units hurrying to relieve the
Fallschirmjeager arrive on the scene.*
*
Notes: If played as Belgium you have about nine turns before the advance elements of a German 
Panzer Division show up. Use your Pioneers to destroy the bridges by area-firing (Z key) their 
satchel charges on a bridge hex. Your force, if properly lead can deal with the German 
paratroopers - you will have a very hard time beating back the Panzers. Blow the bridges, 
without them the Boche can't cross the canal!*
