📖 About This Game
Paul Koenig’s Market Garden is a series of small-format, competitive introductory-level wargames covering the critical first three days of Operation Market-Garden, where the Allies attempted to seize a series of bridges in Holland and end WWII before Christmas. Each game in the series covers a separate bridge: Arnhem, Nijmegen, and Eindhoven.
Based upon the design of Paul Koenig's D-Day Series, Arnhem Bridge is the first to be released in the Market Garden series, covering all the events that happened there from September 17th-19th, 1944. As a player, you must command your German or Allied forces so as to capture key objectives on the board while keeping your casualties down (and your opponent’s casualties up).
