A playtester experience with a scenario in Market Garden '44:
... to my absolute amazement, the tanks and infantry of XXX Corps began swarming across that "bridge too far" ... The Bridge at Arnhem may nearly have been as history recorded it but I had not only a minor victory - I had just played the best war game scenario of my life.
Market Garden '44
- By early September 1944, the Germans were in full retreat with Wehrmacht units streaming back to the Fatherland in complete disarray. However, German commanders were beginning to slow the tide of units and to begin organizing a defense line just as the Allied advance stalled due to lack of supplies. Montgomery argued that a single attack should be on his line of advance through Holland and on to Germany. His plan code-named Market-Garden called for the Allied Airborne Army, consisting of the US 101st, the U.S. 82nd and the 1st British Airborne Divisions, to seize a series of five bridges over a one hundred kilometer stretch through Holland. The final bridge, to be taken by the British and Polish paratroopers, at Arnhem, and would give the Allies access to Germany. Can you succeed where Montgomery fail?
- 35 historically based scenarios are included, with several "what-if" scenarios. There are six campaign scenarios, with alternative drop sites for the airborne troops and the possible inclusion of the 52nd "Lowland" air transportable division.
