Rico, thanks for the first Arnhem scenario [&o], but I think there is a missing 88: I killed two crews (2 VP) and took the VP hex (1 VP) at the end of turn #4, getting a Minor Victory. I spent turns #5 and #6 walking around the whole map, but I didn't find a third 88. Is this a bug or a feature? [:D]

The last one is placed randomly on one of the several sites chosen by me, you have not had any luck, you have missed it, you have (almost) lost and therefore I have won[:D]

First scenario of the campaign.

fortunately I found all three 88`s.
One very early , caused all sorts of problems , I never managed to take that one.
Infantry defending it was well placed :(.
The 2nd 88 opened fire a few turns in and I had a bit of luck breaking the crew and then routing them.
While routing them the 3rd 88 opened fire revealing it`s position .
At this point the turns were starting to run short :) .
Then OOC kicked in and the 3rd 88 went AWOL ,
A mad rush ensued and the close combat took out that crew . The one VP point went on the same turn.
Minor victory ,due to a lot of luck , but for me that first 88 with its infantry support was absolutely
devastating .

Bloody good fun Rico ,
looking forward to the campaign [:D]

Bridge taken. Where are the b****y Guards?

They are coming down the road, with some help from Easy Company...

P.S. [Possible Bug] I only managed to score 16 VPs, but the game has awarded me with a Major Victory (which should require 17 VPs). The [censored] surviving German squad killed a B* leader, a squad and a half-squad, and also generated a D* leader in the very last CC Segment [:@].

Hey guys UP844 says he took the bridge of Arnhem all by himself
and he wants to remove the tea break
Regarding the major victory with 16 points, he forgot that the side B (American) did not
need only 15 points.

The 2nd Para took the bridge, and the chaps would like not being left on their own like they were at Primosole bridge last year...

Rico, you are right: I read the wrong VP column [8|].

Of the four Arnhem scenarios released so far, "Devil's Hill" is by far the toughest one: I played it several times but never managed to win [:(]. The best result I achieved was taking all the VP hexes, but I suffered so many casualties I was easily wiped out by the German counterattack.

Keep up the good work!
