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.
