Scheldt '44 Market Garden (expanded) Allied AAR - settled for a Draw turn 69

[Plain Ian]

It arrives before I have to make the strategy decision where to land the rest of the Polish paratroopers.

As it's mentioned in the Polish paratrooper brigade OOB, it seems to be attached the the Polish brigade HQ and not 1st Airborne Division. That might be historical.

As it's arriving by glider, landing zones in the polder terrain on the southern side of the Rhine were considered unsuitable.

The 1st Airborne will need those guns if they land safely enough. Glider landings should suffer lower disruption/loss.

Looking forward to seeing the British landings and whether Frosts' Battalion can replicate its journey to the bridge.

My public library is now open so I went along and took out a copy of Arnhem by Antony Beevor. 

Quick and easy to read with decent maps (not military standard) and it doesn't spend a lot of time setting up the operation. I do get a bit fed up up reading books on battles/campaigns which devote 1/3 of the book to the lead up to that battle/campaign.

Anyways I get to page 42 and....


So ComradeP any pics of the landings yet?
