Holland, Monday morning, Sept 18th 1944: The previous day was one of a great deal of confusion for both sides. But by dawn of this, the second day of the Market-Garden campaign, the Germans were beginning to understand the scope of the bold operation that Monty had launched. And, while elements of the British Airborne were holding the north end of the Arnhem Bridge, the 82nd Airborne at Nijmegen had yet to take either of the main bridges over the Waal River. Wargaming the first day of Market Garden gives players many chances to repair the mistakes of their historical predecessors, be it the Germans failure to properly garrison the north end of Arnhem Bridge, or the Allies failure to attach priority to capturing Nijmegen Bridge on the first day. In this scenario we'll pick up the events at the start of the second day, and then see which side can recover from errors of the previous day and still "Snatch a Victory". [Size large] Designers note - as this a historical scenario, the Ferry at Driel near Arnhem, which is an option for the British in the main Campaign scenario, has been disabled here, as it was destroyed in the early fighting before its significance was understood.
