GMT Holland 44 (4)

 End of night turn 8.  30 Corps have reached 101st US Airborne.  Airborne troops are hard pressed from the west and a panzer brigade is pressing from the east.  30 Corps armour will come in handy shortly.  Some clear weather would be nice too.

82nd need to hang on in Nijmegen and the 30 Corp approach bridges.  Sadly, the bridges over the Maas have been lost.

1st British Airborne are hemmed in at Arnhem.

Some idea of how far 30 Corps still have to cover.  Clear weather would allow an airborne reinforcement drop with reserves available for all the divisions.

Thanks for looking.

 Trying out the GMT Games Holland 44.  Lots to take in for a first play through, but seems to be working ok.  With Si (US 82nd and Br 1st) and Will (beastly Hun) and me (30 Corps and 101st).

First turn and 30 Corps get off to a sluggish start on the road to Valkensward.

101st US got a good drop and quickly moved to secure bridges and form a perimeter.

82nd had a difficult drop with scatter and step loss, but held a perimeter around their drop zones.

1st Br Airborne had a very successful drop, quickly moving units to the bridge in Arnhem, while holding their drop zones.

We completed 3 turns, but had to stop there, leaving the game out and ready to resume on Monday.

Thanks for looking.
