A Playtest Too Far

That techumseh certainly knows how to create a proper Teutonic battle or two!

I have said it before but it needs saying again, this scenario is a classic!

I have just spent a sleepy Sunday morning at work and a slightly boozy Sunday evening at home playing through this scenario again. Opted for Plan B (the direct approach) and things were going amazingly in the north but all the canal bridges in the south were blown and repairing them took an age. In the meantime the US Airborne troops were in good enough shape to reinforce Arnhem and allow the British Paratroopers to expand the defensive perimeter.

Back down south the Germans got lucky and wiped out my first Engineer detachments which slowed proceedings up even further. Finally with the clock ticking down (5 turns left) the first Guards Fireflys reached Arnhem and escorted the 75mm Pack howitzers to Deelen to await the 52nd Lowland Divisions airlift. Luckily most of the King Tigers had headed south west to attack my Waginingen outpost!

I doubt this will be the last time I play this thoroughly absorbing scenario, but next time I will probably tweak the Axis stats up a bit to make it even more challenging. Bravo Tech

Yep - OMG really kicks booty!

Shows what can be achieved with a good tactical scenario and mastery of events!

Thanks, gents. It was fun to make, and I had lots of help.
