West of Arnhem in the 1st Airborne sector, Sept 17th 1944: This is an alternative scenario that features an Allied maximum effort with two airborne divisions being drop at Arnhem. It was inspired by a reference I saw and can no longer find where it was suggested that Eisenhower's Chief-of-Staff, General Bedell Smith, thought perhaps two divisions might be better employed on Arnhem Bridge. The concept was further embellished by adding a possible capture of the Deelen Airfield and an Airlift of the 52md Lowland Division. [Size medium] Designer Note: For the Deelen Airlift to occur, the Allied player must capture and hold the Airfield prior to the arrival of the 52nd Division beginning on Sept. 19th. The Allied Player should not attempt to land both the 1st AB and the 82nd Airborne Divisions in the south DZ.
