Arnhem, Monday, Sept 18th 1944: The morning of the second day found Lt Col. John Frost, with a reinforced battalion of Red Devils, in possession of the northern end of the Arnhem Bridge. A determined enemy surrounded them, as they awaited the remainder of the 1st Airborne Div to break through to the main objective of the entire operation. With XXX Corps expected no earlier than the following afternoon, the Red Devils were in a bind. With only the support of the Polish Brigade to come later on the following day, they would have to decide if they were going to relieve Frost, or if Frost would come to them. The big question remained - WHERE WAS XXX Corps? Would it arrive in time? A Victory might be within the Allied grasp, even if XXX Corps doesn't arrive in time to save Frost at the main bridge. [Size medium] Designer Notes - Germans arriving FIXED just north of Nijmegen, represent troops facing XXX Corps and will be released when XXX Corps arrives. ** PROTECTED ** hexes to the south - German units should not proceed south of the defense line. Also, as this is the historical 1st Airborne scenario, the Ferry at Driel which is an option for the British in the Campaign scenario, has been disabled.
