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

[ComradeP]

Turn 41 13:00 September 21st 1944.



The first Welsh units are moving across the Waal.

XXX Corps artillery units set up in a position where it can support both the units across the Waal and the units south of Nijmegen.

Guards Armoured is waging trench warfare for the moment.

82nd Airborne combat units are now all across or moving towards the Waal.

I've decided to move 4th Armoured Brigade north to support the offensive by 101st Airborne Division.



43rd Wessex is about to give the German company screen in the area a major headache as it cuts through them like a hot knife through butter. 43rd Wessex has tank units attached to it, which gives it considerable offensive punch.

After some consideration, I decided to move 7th Armoured to the breakthrough in progress instead of advancing towards the south next to 11th Armoured Division.



50th Northumbrian Division discovers that nobody's home in the area between Eindhoven and Weert. It can advance unopposed.

At the start of the day, there will still Division Erdmann units in the area, but they're rapidly withdrawing towards the east.
