Close Combat A Bridge Too Far E19 Arnhem Bridge (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 19, a parachute infantry company from the British 1st Airborne Division must seize Arnhem Bridge in order to allow XXX Corps to cross the Rhine. It is Day 2 of Operation Market Garden, 1200hrs on 18 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, consider the terrain and what the enemy might do, develop and analyse courses of action, make a decision, then execute the plan in real time, followed by lessons learned.
