A bridge too far indeed!!

Pics of the latest operational game

Allies driving in from the North, red arrows German entry points

 Turn 1 Air landing battalion and paratroopers attack airfield

 2nd Air landing land on table 1B but don't block the motorcycle battalion rushing to release the panzer reinforcements



 elements of 30 corps move on forward town

 A random German battalion enters at 2D

 The attack goes in

 and overruns the airfield

 Another random German battalion moving to cut off the air born troops

 Hold until re leaved

 Paratroops defusing the rigged bridge and leading the way

 German garrison is finally crushed

allied Armoured regiment on the hunt

 Elements of the Panzer division arrive to take back the airfield

 Parras in trouble from panzer division

 Allies secure bridge

 Air landing under extreme pressure

 Parras dying to a man

 Airfield about to fall


 Germans holding off tanks

 Last of the random German reinforcements


 Allies trying to clear the way to the airfield


 Air landing die to a man but take 2 German battalions with them



The end 
Air born troops could not hold onto their forward positions, and 30 corps could not break thru in time 
A narrow win to the Germans.
Well played Gentlemen.

Well organised and umpired Mark. That's another new operational format that works. I think we fought on every table except 1A over which we did move a unit!
