September 16th 1944*
The Netherlands*
*
This is a non-combat intro scenario designed to give you an overview over the operational area.*
*
You wouldn't know this at this time, but the Allies have launched a massive combined arms operation to win the war by Christmas: Operation Market Garden. Their goal is to have XXX Corps advance across the Rhine in one big push along "Club Route".*
*
For this to work, several bridges have to be captured. To this end, they will land three Airborne Divisions along the route of advance: the US 101st near Einhoven, the US 82nd near Nijmegen and the British 1st at Arnhem.*
*
Your goal is to keep them from completing their advance in time to reach the 1st Airborne. For that you have to delay XXX Corps long enough and keep them from crossing the Waal at Nijmegen.*
*
There will be no core force, except your HQ, which is an abstraction representing whoever is in charge of the sector you find yourself in. In fact, some of the battles take place at the same time.*
*
Objectives: Capture the victory hex. There will be no opposition.*
