Arnhem, 100km E of Rotterdam, Holland: [Best played as Allied] This scenario presents the decisive opening act of the struggle for control of the Arnhem Bridge for the entire first day of the landings. Lathbury's 1st Para Brigade has landed and formed up and Hicks' 1st Airlanding Gliders are arriving. Orders are: "1st Airborne Div will seize Arnhem and the crossings over the Neder Rhine, and establish a bridgehead to the north of that town. D-Day Paswords: Challenge: RED; Reply: BERET." Lathbury is to push on to the bridge with all speed, while Hicks' troops secure and hold the drop zones near Ginkel Heath required for subsequent lifts and division supplies. This crucial first day at Arnhem will decide the fate of Operation Market-Garden.

Paras have to move fast & get into the town before the Germans receive too much reinforcement. Very nice game!
