I enjoyed this action enormously and would love to tackle this as a pure Memoir '44 game against a live opponent. Perhaps the war would be over by Christmas after all. The corridor from Belgium to Arnhem is virtually clear so 30 Corps will be able to rush to the aid of the beleaguered Red Berets, thereby securing Montgomery's back door route into Germany. With the fall of Nijmegen the Allies have managed to secure the 13 medals required for victory.
The armour however, would be a different matter.Įindhoven and Nijmegen at the point of being secured - 30 Corps are now able to charge at full speed to Arnhem. The Germans on the drop zone were speedily dealt with as was most of the infantry that the Germans were able to send against the Red Devils. Meanwhile at Arnhem Bridge, the British successfully managed to not only occupy the town but also to send a unit over the bridge so that both ends were secure. The 82nd landed but took some time to form up (lots of 'armour' dice or 'no order' scores rolled) which allowed the Germans to reinforce their positions prior to the battle commencing - it would be a tougher fight than envisaged. the Germans were disorganised and attacked piecemeal and so were easily driven off by the Americans.
The 101st Airborne was quickly in action, clearing their drop zones of Germans, thereby securing their position prior to moving off into Eindhoven. The 82nd Airborne (top left) are busy sorting themselves out whilst the Germans reinforce Nijmegen. 30 Corps on the move with the 101st in action against the Germans near their drop zone and in the suburbs of Eindhoven.
