But there's always another way.
So, after wasting spending time trying this and that, and restarting the game.....(twice more) I decided to stay with my existing units but tweaked the rules.....and reread the scenario for the nth time, thus being reminded that the rivers could be forded near the table edges. Ahhhh! Right...that's better than just one bridge......
If all is well, the game will be played to a finish tomorrow (Wednesday) and a battle report posted.
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.
Alls well that ends well , awaiting the battle report with interest…

P.S like the movement trays they are most practical as well as looking great.
Always nice to see the Elastolins in action again. And I agree: one way or another, castings have to be few enough to permit maneuver. Smaller units would avert having to recalculate units for every scenario, but fewer larger units also works. Good you caught the fords, even on the nth reading: many times people have not. I think generally all river scenarios without at least two crossing points become Sittangbad variations: evacuation/delay becomes the only interesting option. Mind you, I enjoy Sittangbad, but there are other things to be done with a river.
