The American 101st Airborne had already weathered one concerted German counterattack on their portion of the narrow corridor on the 20th. Now came word from the Dutch underground of a German buildup in the hamlets and woods east of Veghel. That morning, the 327th Glider Regiment's 3rd Battalion was just moving into Veghel. Behind them came the 1st Battalion Anti-Tank Platoon. Colonel Joseph Harper gave both his formations orders to push up the highway toward Uden and deploy to defend the approaches from that town. Just outside Veghel, one AT gun set up in the middle of the highway; the other two lined up some 20 yards apart on the left. But even as these were being manhandled into position, the main thrust of Kampfgruppe Walther crashed into Uden. Fighting doggedly, a single battalion of the 501st deflected the initial armored attack, causing it to sheer off down the route to Veghel. Distracted by destroying a stalled British truck convoy, the panzers were only 150 yards from the American positions when the anti-tank guns opened fire.

This scenario is designed for head-to-head play. If played solo against the AI it's best to take the German side, and the AI must be free to place it's units.

This is the fifth scenario of seven in the Market-Garden Series.
