The Historical Campaign Game. Operation Market-Garden was a bold plan that envisioned an "airborne carpet" of troops holding open a corridor for the British 30th Corps to advance on, until it crossed the Rhine at Arnhem. Unfortunately, the II SS Panzer Korps was resting and preparing to refit in the area, and the operation failed with extremely heavy casualties to mainly the British 1st Airborne Division. Of note in this battle is the amazing speed and coordination of the German response, a testament to the organizational skills and decisive leadership of General Model. This version has the 101st Abn and portions of the 82nd Abn being fixed for portions of each day starting with the night of the 19th (change by Rick Bancroft).
