Bother at the bridge - part 3

Back at the bridge the Paras are under fire from the Panhard troop but a lucky RPG shot has seen AML numbers reduced. They've also deployed the mortar battery - which despite the 120 in the photo is actually only 82mm.

Behind the paras the cheeky french have moved up this MG armed jeep.  Actually this is a Citroen Mehari - a militarised 2CV.  Like the original, my Solido model has plastic bodywork.....

Just when things were already looking a bit grim for the Sovs, the French reinforcements arrived in the shape of VAB mounted infantry and a flock of Panhards.

On the other side of the river the paras were getting stuck into what turned out to be the french HQ.  The latter had been skulking in a building which too, a hit from artillery fire. French artillery fire...

The close assault was only ever going one way......
