Take part in one of the most dramatic airborne operations of the Second World War. In this paragraph-based game you step into the role of a Polish paratrooper from the 1st Independent Parachute Brigade, dropped into the chaos of Operation Market Garden. Through his eyes you will relive the tension, the courage, and the doubt of a soldier fighting far from home. Every choice matters. Do you follow orders to the letter, or trust your instincts in the heat of battle? Do you risk lives to hold the line, or pull back to save your men? Your path will be shaped by hard decisions, moral dilemmas, and the unforgiving reality of war. This is not only a story of battles fought, but of loyalty, sacrifice, and the resilience of those who believed their struggle could change the course of history. —description from the publisher

The catalogue lists A Bridge Too Far for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
