Nijmegen, near the German border, Sept 17th 1944: The U.S. 82nd Airborne was tasked with capturing, and holding, the bridges across the Maas River (Grave Bridge) and the Waal River in Nijmegen. In order to do so, the 82nd troopers had not only to take the bridges themselves, but to hold the high ground near Groesbeek, east of Nijmegen. The high ground had to be held to ensure safe landing for the reinforcements, and also to protect against German attacks from the Reichswald to the east. The difficulty was the need to balance the speed and stealth necessary to grab the bridges, while using forces which might be needed to eliminate German threats to the high ground. Unanticipated German forces added to the confusion. [Size medium]

one of the baddest scenario i ever played. In 10 turns , engeneers never build a bridge for English tanks. So it's impossible for paratroops to cross Nijmegen bridge without support and SS troops defending. German player have just to defend the bridge and withdraw the other troops from the map to avoid the waste of points, to win the game.
A scenario to absolutly avoid
If you are on your own, overlapping in green pastures with the sun on your face, do not be troubled, for you are the Champs Elyseum, and you're already dead!

In my opinion, it is very difficult for the Allies to conduct a successful river crossing against SS dug in on the other side.

Enjoyable scenario, although a difficult situation for the 82nd and Guards Armored (excuse the American spelling).
Me and General McAulliffe decided to move I Company up on the line. That is, if you agree.
