I love Meuse to the Rhine as Allies - I did my first ever AAR on it

Played it as the Germans and found it too easy though - kept XXX Corps out of Nijmegen without too much effort and as a result I completely destroyed 1st Para Div to a man

yes Rob is right. Also the program tries to limit the base responses to threatened supply routes but eventually your vehicles (jeeps in this case) got shot up.<br/>
<br/>
An average supply run is maybe 2 vehicles so during those "100 ...

Look at your capacity, you have no vehicles left to transport supplies. You have workers on hand to load 50 tonnes of supply an hour but nothing to load it into.

As I said at the start this was great fun <br/>

...supply for the paras seemed to possibly to be not working (plus I NEVER had much arty ammo for anyone) but that to me ...

That's what I've tried with the 3 bns. of the 508th as soon as they land, but they invariably get caught up in firefights with either Hencke or SS units coming from Arnhem.<br/>
<br/>
I'll try again.<br/>

Initially at Nijmegen, how did you task the bns. assigned to take the town/bridge?<br/>

As I said at the start this was great fun <br/>

The real turning point was getting across the Waal on D4/D5 - get stuck there and you are in trouble (which is kinda like real life so another thumbs up to the game), but if you can get XXX corps rumbling they will get the job done ...

<r> FINAL AAR<br/>
<br/>
So my end of turn report comes up with no great surprise<br/>
<br/>
By 90-32 a Decisive Victory <br/>

<r> Arnhem D10 22:01<br/>
<br/>
No change on Oosterbeek front so final update is from the main stage!!<br/>
<br/>
Mass assault on D10 has secured Nrth Arnhem (no real surprise) and the Rail Yards (BIG surprise)<br/>
<br/>
I've also got a fair few units in East Arnhem so hopefully denied that ...

<r> North Island - Day 10 2201 - GAME OVER MAN!!<br/>
<br/>
So I did not manage to take either Chkpoint 5 and Elden, but I'm strongly invested in both <br/>
<br/>
As a total bonus, I also rather easily managed to get the South end of the Hwy Bridge with just 2 WE plus 2 x Eng Coy plus Household ...

<r> Oosterbeek D10 00:30<br/>
<br/>
Perimeter is now secured by Paras with all bases nice and safe inside and Household Cav + Guard Regt HQ units "sweeping" up <br/>
<br/>
As stated above even at this point no supply is happening to Para units <br/>
<br/>
This did not really hurt me, but I ...

<r> Arnhem D10 00:00<br/>
<br/>
Day 9 saw me secure North side of bridge and make big inroads into German defenses in North Arnhem<br/>
<br/>
I now have all 8 Gd Batts in Arnhem and they will be thrown forward tomorrow to try and max out my points, including a push SOUTH from (a 50% strength ...

<r> North Island - Day 10 0030 THE FINAL DAY<br/>
<br/>
Everything south of here is pretty static so no updates<br/>
<br/>
North of Elst I have 4 Inf Batts plus 8 Armd Bde pushing along HH toward Elden<br/>
<br/>
I've also got some composite groups of Grds Div AT troops attacking from the West ...

<t> Oosterbeek D8 18:00<br/>
<br/>
Again no piccie as no massive change<br/>
<br/>
2WE and 1GR Gds have finished clearing up (or being mashed by Tigers) and are resting up ready to go into Arnhem on Day 9<br/>
<br/>
The rest of area is just being held by Paras in situ or I'm using Gds Div ...

<r> Arnhem D8 18:00<br/>
<br/>
Brit Para units are still mostly holding in place but I'm trying to use them to shield the main attack east from any counter attacks from odd units to the north<br/>
<br/>
69 Bde are now pushing SE toward Hwy Brdge Nrth Objective through 1 WE and 3 IR Gds who are ...

<t> <br/>
Nijmegen/Elst - Day 8 1800<br/>
<br/>
No Picture here as very little has changed!<br/>
<br/>
13/18 Hussars and 5WI are getting bloody nose in their assault, so later on day 8 I decide there is nothing to be gained and just leave 4 SLI and 5 WI to hold the defensive line where it is ...

<r> Groesbeek/Nijmegen - Day 8 18:00 <br/>
<br/>
The Line here is now secure and I am in control of all remaining VP points<br/>
<br/>
Aside from chasing down the last couple of infiltrators and pulling the 214th Bde out to go North, I don't do anything else in this sector for rest of the game ...

<r> Oosterbeek D8 07:00<br/>
<br/>
10/11 Para hold SW approaches and remaining Brit Para Units are holding perimeter in situ<br/>
<br/>
1 GR and 2 WE Gds are continuing to attack few remaining units threatening Div Base Unit<br/>
<br/>
2 Pol Para are defending Supply Point for final day it ...

<r> Arnhem D8 07:00<br/>
<br/>
Brit Para units still hold in place<br/>
<br/>
69 Bde are defending in Centre - 1 WE and 3 IR Gds (The inf batts) are assaulting beyond them toward Hwy Brdge Nrth Objective<br/>
<br/>
3 Pol Para + 2 IR and % CO Gds are attacking NE to clear W Arnhem Objective - I ...
