This map is based on official Home Guard tactical doctrine for a platoon defence after a German invasion.
Anticipating a German thrust from bottom right,half the platoon (red circles) is deployed forward in two trenches and a manned roadblock to defend the bridge, supported by a Vickers MG and Spigot mortar to their rear.
The HQ reserve (blue circle) will wait ready to move to strengthen the bridge sector or counter any outlanking moves.
