Operation Market Garden

Operation Market Garden 1944 is a turn based strategy game set on the European Western Front during the Second World War.  From Joni Nuutinen: by a wargamer for the wargamers since 2011


Operation Market Garden was a risky Allied attempt to shorten the end of the Second World War by using three separate groups of airborne forces to suddenly capture multiple bridges to pave the way for a 100-kilometer armored attack to seize the German industrial heartland east of Arnhem. American and British paratroopers without a direct supply line had to depend on highly unreliable airdropped supplies until the Allied spearhead reached them. Thanks to poor and ignored military intelligence, the true strength of the German forces in the area was not taken into account when the final, fatal decision to carry out the operation was made. Can you prevent what historian Cornelius Ryan called "the last great German victory of the war"?

In order to be a victorious general in this strategy game, you must learn to coordinate your attacks in two ways. First, as adjacent units give support to an attacking unit, keep your units in groups in order to gain local superiority. Secondly, it is rarely the best idea to use brute force when it is possible to encircle the enemy and cut off its supply lines instead.
