Fine.

They get quite good towards the end, I've just held off an entire Fallsturm army with 1 badly mauled Para Rifle unit, 2 snipers, 1 para recon and a single man unit of Para Vickers MG.

The snipers were worth their weight in gold taking out unit commanders right at the start of the battle then the Vickers mauled the rest of the units as they advanced.

Total losses were the entre Recon unit KIA and a WIA man in the para rifle unit, to kill or maim 37 enemy and cause them to rout off the map.
The Stug army bearing down from the north will crush me in that sector this evening though!

Ah, sounds like you had a similar experience than I had in the end of the map, just you were doing the ass kicking while I was in the receiving end.

Gawd, I hate those movement arrow things in the strategic map that you have in your /support folder of the game. Nijmegen is full of small sectors so you can only see an arrow jungle. Thus, I am now forced to draw the map of the sector (this should be good

).

Yep, just sadly as predicted the Stug army has come rushing down from the north whilst an SS grenadier army has pushed up from the south.

I have lost all of the landing zones and the resupply routes leaving me holed up in three sectors: Arnhem Brige, Arnhem Rail Bridge and West Arnhem.

The main bridge is pretty secure by my main experienced army and quite blocked by wrecked halftracks now!, the rail bridge is destroyed and but my forces were badly hit by the Netherlands SS army that pushed through in the night battle, I may need to pull back away from this bit to save the forces for the main bridge.

West Arnhem is very likely to be lost in the battle I fight later on tonight since the enemy has gotten hold of 3 Panzers and I only have one Piat unit available, the issue here is if I fall back the panzers can hit the main bridge from the rear, so I have to try and hold them or at least force truces for the next day days of battles by inflicting enough casualties on their infantry.

Think this may indeed be a Bridge too far for the Allies!
