A Bridge Too…. Fark!!! A Story of the Far Canal.

I’m planning a reserve demolition game, based loosely on the prosaically titled British Army training film ‘The Demolition Guard’. A diverted platoon of Soviet Air Assault troops will definitely feature. If you haven’t seen the flick, it’s worth it for scenario fodder.

Fantastic job Dags. Should be close the right ratio for Soviets Vs BAOR. 

Carlos you never fail to amaze me at the films you find. Thats a ready made scenario. Good to see the Blowpipe was useless

That video was great!  Screams to be a scenario!

My tank platoon was tasked with one of those bridge jobs when I was a tank platoon leader in Germany in the mid-80s.  A bridge over the Main a few miles east of Schweinfurt.

And the one chap did say they repulsed one heliborne assault- maybe their Blowpipes worked better!

It makes a nice change to re-watching episodes of Kir Royal and Die schnelle Gerdi, a period in German television I like to think of as peak Senta Berger.*
