All American Over Nijmegen - Blown bridge

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Now try from the Meuse to the Rhine.

You'll find it different, I think - harder. Lots of Axis forces flooding down to Nijmegan from Arnhem. Be very interested how you get on with it.

hehe - Where did all the bad guys come from?

Had no joy with Meuse to the Rhine.

Overwhelmed south of Nijmegen.
Arnhem was easier but I was trying to interdict with the Axis flow of forces south to Nijmegen - could not achieve this. Thus Nijmegen was very tough.

How have others fared with Meuse to the Rhine?

Under historical settings, little better than the allies did (probably because I knew more about the enemy ground force dispositions from reading the history books before starting the battle than Monty knew at the time)!

Would have had a better time of it if the XXX Corps would get on their horses and establish betters ground LOC to my isolated units ;-).

Jockeying with reinforcements, supplies, orders delay and weather can get better results on the allied side, but Monty didn't have those options available at his command center.
Take care,
