Overview:

For Operation MARKET-GARDEN, the US 101st Airborne Division was tasked to capture the bridge over the Dommel River at St. Oedenrode. Immediately after landing, the lead platoons of Company B, 1st Battalion, 502d Parachute Regiment hurried forward and seized the bridge, quickly routing a small bridge guard from the 1.Fallschirmjägerarmee. Once taken, the 502d was ordered to hold the bridge and keep the road open to Arnhem. Initially surprised and forced off the bridge, the Germans ordered an immediate counterattack to retake the bridge. Kampfgruppe Ewald, consisting of parachute training units around s’Hertgenbosch, was hastily formed and sent to St. Oedenrode. Seized initially on the evening of the 17 September, St. Oedenrode became one of the points of counterattack by German forces arriving from the west in their efforts to cut Hell’s Highway.
Attacker: German (Elements of Kampfgruppe Ewald, 1.Fallschirmjagerarmee)
Defender: American (Elements of Company B, 1st Battalion, 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment)

2023-03-29(A) davide galloni vs Marco Bria American win
2023-01-08(A) Rob Schmitt vs Mitch Davis American winAmerican was able to slow and cripple the German advance with long range MG fires. German was never able to consolidate/recover and make a decent coordinated attack.
2022-09-18(D) Fred Jordan vs American winThis scenario is quite static for the US force defending a bridge against a German assault coming from both sides but, in my game, the wild dice rolls made it exciting for the US with two heroes generated and one hyperactive sniper. In the end, the US barely won by passing its last moral check roll. A nice way to spend a couple of hours.
2022-04-11(A) Alberto González Ramírez vs Javier G. American winI attacked the USA paratroopers with big stacks trying to break them while in stone buildings but failed. Maybe, not a good idea.
2021-10-14(A) Dan Best vs Kermit Mullins German win
