About the 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). Game Data: Complexity: 3 on a 9 scale Solitaire Suitability: 8 on a 9 scale Unit scale: Each unit is 1 company to regiment, each hex is 0.6 kilometers, each (day) turn is about 4.5 hours, and each (night) turn is about 10 hours. Game Components: ● 1 11x17” map with tables per bridge ● 40 1/2", double-sided game pieces ● 28 5/8", round double-sided markers per bridge ● One 4-page, full color Standard Rules booklet ● 1 sheet of Exclusive Rules covering the specifics for each bridge
