Close Combat A Bridge Too Far E27 Arnhem Bridge Defence (Operation Market Garden)
14Welcome 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 27, Frost's men must defend Arnhem Bridge in order to allow XXX Corps to cross the Rhine. It is Day 3 of Operation Market Garden, 0600hrs on 19 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.
