Overview:

Operation Market Garden was in full swing and encountering unexpectedly heavy resistance. Attempts to wrest control of the Waal Bridge by head-on assaults were repulsed. General Gavin decided on a daring river assault to outflank the center of resistance. A mile to the west, the 504th Parachute Regiment was to cross in broad daylight behind a massive smokescreen, advance along the north bank, ad link up with other elements attacking across the bridge. . .
Attacker: American / British ((American) H, I and HQ Companies 3rd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment with C Company, 307th Combat Engineer Battalion, 82nd Airborne Division and (British) 2nd Armoured Battalion, Irish Guards Regiment, Guards Armoured Division)
Defender: German (Kampfgruppe Henke, Fallschirmjäger-Lehr-Regiment 1 and Kampfgruppe Reinhold, SS-Panzer-Division)

2020-10-22(D) Pascal Boileau vs Cilluffo Pierre-Jean American / British winA very nice scenario with many twist and turns. In spite of American losses during the river crossing, after landing, and even in the last meters before the exit, it was not enough to stop them. It was only in the last turn that it was obvious the Germans have lost...
2019-10-26(A) Kermit Mullins vs Dan Best American / British winDan Best, Dave Mareske and I played this one as a 3 Player scenario. Dave and I managed to win as the Allies against Dan's Germans.
