Opening The Island to Arnhem - The Matrix Games version of West Front

On the 21 September the Polish Independant Parachute Brigade finally dropped around the village Driel, on the opposite side of the river Rhine where british paras were desperately defending their ever deminishing bridgehead West of Arnhem. The following day British infantry was able to cross the bridge at Nijmegen and enter The Betuwe, or as it was known to the soldiers "The Island". First they had to clear the Kampfgruppe in Oosterhout and race as quick as possible to the relief of the hard pressed Poles at Driel. The Germans nevertheless had seized control of Elst and were blocking the only road suitable for armored vehicles. Time was against the Allies, as their paras around Arnhem were being destroyed, they had to fight their way to hold Driel as a possible escaperout.
