Operation Market Garden was a risky Allied attempt to shorten the end of the Second World War by using three separate groups of airborne forces to suddenly capture multiple bridges to pave the way for a 100-kilometer armored attack to seize the German industrial heartland east of Arnhem. American and British paratroopers without a direct supply line had to depend on highly unreliable airdropped supplies until the Allied spearhead reached them. Thanks to poor and ignored military intelligence, the true strength of the German forces in the area was not taken into account when the final, fatal decision to carry out the operation was made. Can you prevent what historian Cornelius Ryan called "the last great German victory of the war"?
"Market Garden was a bold and imaginative plan, but it was too ambitious."
- General Frederick Browning, commander of the Allied Airborne Corps, Airborne Operations (1951)
FEATURES:
+ Historical accuracy: Campaign mirrors the historical setup, and yes, that makes this a fairly difficult scenario to get through
+ Long-lasting: Thanks to in-built variation and the game's smart AI technology, each game provides a unique war gaming experience.
+ Supports casual play: Easy to pick up, leave off, continue later.
+ AI: Instead of just attacking on direct line towards the target, the AI opponent balances between strategic goals and smaller tasks like encircling nearby units.
+ Settings: Various options are available to alter the look of the gaming experience: Change difficulty level, hexagon size, Animation speed, choose icon set for units (NATO or REAL) and cities (Round, Shield, Square, block of houses), decide what is drawn on the map, and much more.
+ Tablet friendly strategy game: Automatically scales the map for any physical screen size/resolution from small smartphones to HD tablets, while settings allow you to fine tune hexagon and font sizes.
In order to be a victorious, you must learn to coordinate your attacks in two key ways. First, as adjacent units give support to an attacking unit, keep your units in groups in order to gain local superiority. Secondly, it is rarely the best idea to use brute force when it is possible to encircle the enemy and cut off its supply lines with clever maneuvering.

"Market Garden was a defeat, but it was a defeat that the Allies learned from. It helped them to develop new tactics and strategies for the final offensive against Germany."
--- John Keegan, The Second World War (1989)
