GRAVE
Again, no attempt by the allies to cross the bridge. No contact with the enemy made.
Bridge was blown in order to switch pressure to the Ravenstein sector, which holds
the 2nd bridge over Maas river. (There seems to be an bug with large bridges, the AI
can't move it's troops across and neither do I, so I blew the bridge)
German losses - 0
Allied losses - 0
