Close Combat A Bridge Too Far E09 Oosterbeek Landing Zone (Operation Market Garden)
Welcome to Gus McDoll Games (Strategy and Tactics), and thank you to our subscribers! In this series we play Close Combat A Bridge Too Far, a game based on the Battle of Arnhem, Operation Market Garden. We are playing the Allied Grand Campaign at the Veteran level of difficulty.
In Episode 9, an understrength company from the British 1st Airborne Division must defend the Oosterbeek Landing Zone to ensure resupply and reinforcement to the Arnhem sector. It is Day 1 of Operation Market Garden, 1400hrs on 17 September 1944.
We use each mission to illustrate one or more aspects of WW2 infantry minor tactics at the company level and below: frontal and flanking attacks; use of indirect fire; suppressing fire; enfilade and defilade; infantry/tank cooperation; defensive positions; ambushes; and so on.
Each episode we conduct basic mission analysis (mission, enemy, terrain, troops and time), develop and analyse courses of action, then execute the plan in real time, followed by lessons learned.
