<t> I found it to be incredibly easy to get into though haven't mastered it yet. This is in contrast to Korsun Pocket which I struggled with - I didn't find it difficult to play I just found it difficult to implement anything significant.<br/>

HTTR is by far and away the easiest to grasp ...

<t> The post at the start of this thread asked "....if Market Garden had been a success.....". It obviously wasn't an outright success as hoped for by the operation's strategic plans but did it achieve any secondary success? Did the cost in terms of men, materiel, planning resources, logistics etc ...

The answer to 1) is not very detailed. Airstrikes are very abstracted.

I'm not sure about the answer to 2) but suspect that editing saved games isn't too much of a problem. I haven't done it but perhaps folks who use the scenario editor can comment?

Yup, I kept a save game of it. I'll try and remember to email it to you when I get back from work tonight.


Patrick

Yeah, and some good TV.

You learn something new every day....... The 1st Airborne Division was making such poor progress in its drive on Arnhem that I checked out the move order. I had left it up to the AI (in other words "unspecificied") and it had defaulted to <I ...

Excellent AAR - I'm enjoying this, but perhaps not as much as EricGuitarJames .

The 1st Borders is moving into position to support the Poles. Slow progress is being made by the 1st Airborne into Arnhem which is the scene of a vicious dog fight. The minimal speed of the advance into Arnhem has caused a problem - a worrying ...

At last the 1st Airborne looks to be arriving in Arnhem to help out the beleaguered Paras. This allows the 1st Borders to help the Poles who have done brilliantly to take the Arnhem railway bridge intact.<br/>

A Trp, organically part of the 1st Bn Para, has decided on a completely ludicrous route. Why has the pathfinding resulted in this? With painfully realistic order delay applied is it even feasible to try and countermand this idiocy?

Lieutenant Colonel Dobbie, you might well have taken command of the 1st Bn Para because of your predecessor's overenthusastic disciplinary zeal BUT AT LEAST HE COULD READ A MAP AND DIDN'T COMMIT TACTICAL SUICIDE.<br/>

Painfully realistic is right with its emphasis on pain. The 1st Airborne Division has only now just started to march towards Arnhem. At least reinforcements (and needed they are) have started to arrive south of the river. The bulk will be shifted north into central Arnhem ...

Things could be a lot worse, but the 3rd Bn's inability / unwillingness to form up where indicated is frustrating me. I can't seem to get them out of "waiting" status<br/>

The situation hots up in central Arnhem. To the west Haddon's 1st Border Bn is ordered to take up a defensive position in the high residential area looking south east into Arnhem. The first Airborne Division will push past their lines.<br ...
