Nijmegen, near the German border, Sept 17th 1944: The U.S. 82nd Airborne was tasked with capturing, and holding, the bridges across the Maas River (Grave Bridge) and the Waal River in Nijmegen. WHAT IF General Gavin, arguably the most experienced airborne commander, had not lost out on his bid for a 'coup de main' on Nijmegen Bridge! One could say that Market Garden failed due to the delay in capturing the main Bridges at Nijmegen. In this scenario, the Allied player has the option of using the historical drop zones, or saying "To Hell with Groesbeek" and opting for a bolder plan to put more units on the ground closer to the key bridges over the Waal River. [Size medium] This scenario was altered to allow more historical results.
