Formed in July 1944 on an emergency basis following the losses in Normandy, the ranks of the 59th Infantry Division were filled with troops on furlough from the German occupation forces in Norway. Despite it's lack of training, and chronic equipment shortages, this ad hoc division fought with distinction in the Calais area and during the subsequent withdrawal to North Brabant. By mid-September, it numbered but 1000 weary, battle-wise veterans supported by a handful of guns. Nevertheless, beginning on the 17th, its fiery commander Lt-General Poppe threw it against the regiments of the 101st Airborne holding "Hell's Highway" in a series of persistent local counterattacks. The strongest, by three companies drawn from the 1034th and 1036th regiments - reinforced by some police and replacement units - struck Col. Cassidy's battalion of the 502nd Parachute Infantry around noon on the third day of the battle. 

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

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.
