Scenario #0917_09x Market-Garden - Additional Forces extended Campaign
Hello everybody.

I'd like to get out of the TOC boot camp and commemorate the third anniversary of my going crazy about the "Market - Garden" operation, acquiring a penchant for airborne warfare / vertical envelopment.

I'd also like to dedicate that enterprise to the designers & makers of the first wargame ever which enabled me to immerse myself into some practical exercise in wargaming "OMG" after I had read the remarkable "A Bridge too Far" by Cornelius Ryan about three years ago. What could be a better tribute to the great history and a great title than making it happen over & over again, keeping the story alive and the game present in playing?I have read lots of other publications on the subject and played every re-creation of the theater and operation available, but those first encounters are remembered the best I suppose.

I should be able to make a turn per day perhaps or every four days at worst so I think the game with its length is likely to be concluded in a year's or a year and a half's time. Even though I have palyed all of the shorter scenarios off the PzC "MG" and two thirds off one of the campaign scenarios I have never palyed in a PBEM mode before which should ever be an ultimate challenge for a wargamer that I would like to attempt now. Therefore I have a vague idea what the best options and settings would be and need to dicuss that in detail before the game begins.

Obviously I am looking for a German side player as an opponent.

PM or mail me, please.

Hi Burroughs,

I have just bought MG and I am playing one of the campaigns (no night sleep for XXX Corps, good weather, and flexible Polish drop). I wouldn't mind playing the Germans in a campaign situation. Tell me what you have in mind?
