8. Nijmegen Bridge [Mission]

In 1 collection by Dotmatrix
Operation Market Garden (All Campaign Missions Collection)
12 items
Description
Map: Market Garden - 9/20/1944
Gamemode: Operation (5 phases)
Invaders: United States (allies)
Defenders: Germany (axis)

On the 20th, around 250 US Paratroopers boarded flimsy row boats and sailed parallel to Nijmegen bridge, in an attempt to surround it and take it from behind. With too few oars, men rowed with their rifle buts; chants and prayers went up as the men sailed through withering German fire. Showing immense bravery - and suffering devastating losses - the Americas reached the far bank and stormed forward to flank the bridge. Against all the odds, they succeeded: the bridge was encircled and assaulted, forcing the defence to collapse. XXX Corps could continue its advance, though was unable to due to most of its supporting infantry being still embroiled in fighting in Nijmegen.

There was one bridge left: Arnhem.

Could Frost hold out for long enough?

Hi @Trudin, all these missions were designed with a normal number of units in mind, so you probably found defenders rushing the point a lot. The mission should play fine on a normal number of units, so the Americans suffer quite a few causalties but still take the point. Changing the point would make it too easy on normal difficulty, so all i can really suggest is lowering the number of defenders. I hope you enjoyed anyway :)

I player with Proportional maximum units. In the first phase, reinforcements from the defense always reach the beachhead positions faster. It is recommended to place the defender's respawn point farther away.

In the first phase, the attacking side's artillery would not attack at all because they had no radio, resulting in high casualties from the beach landings.
