Memoir'44: Arnhem Bridge

With all the 75th anniversary commemorations going on I thought it appropriate to play the Arnhem Bridge scenario in the base game. I'd never played it before and it looked a challenging task for the British Paratroopers to defend what seemed like overwhelming odds from the German encirclement.

I decided to take on the role of the British defenders and I used a bold strategy of trying to eliminate the weaker German infantry units that were already over the Rhine. These forces were destroyed in sufficient numbers to give the paras victory before they were worn down by attrition and the Germans had successfully marshalled enough troops to get across the bridge.

The cat made an early airborne drop while I was setting the game up!
