September 1944, the allied “blitzkrieg” following the breakthrough of Cobra began to run out of steam. Despite the unexpected capture of the port of Antwerp intact (the banks of the Scheldt are still in German hands) most of the Allied supplies came from Cherbourg. There is not enough supply to supply both Patton and Montgomery’s troops. The latter then proposed to Eisenhower a bold plan that he believed would allow the war to end at Christmas: Operation Market-Garden.

Three airborne divisions (101st US, 82nd US and 1st UK) are to jump over the Eindhoven, Nijmegen and Arnhem regions to capture key bridges. Starting from the banks of the Scheldt, the XXX Fortified Corps of the Guard Armored Division, 43rd Welsh Infantry Division and 8th Armoured Brigade had to relieve the paratroopers and once Arnhem reached Germany to encircle the Rhür from the north.

The 82nd US Airborne division commanded by General James M. Gavin (“Slim Jim” for his men) is in charge of the Nijmegen (Nijmegen) sector. Its mission is to control the key bridges of Graves and Nimègues as well as the bridges on the Maas/Waal canal while maintaining a defensive front facing the German border. The American paratroopers will have to hold out until the British tanks arrive.

“Nijmegen 44” will allow you to relive through 36 scenarios the battles that took place between 17 and 21 September 1944 in the Nijmegen area during Market Garden. The campaign consists of 8 chapters, each dealing with a sub-sector and a collection of special rules, battle orders and historical maps. It should be noted that you can play without the dike rules if you wish. A chapter will be shared every Tuesday on September 17, 2019, due to the 75th anniversary.

Chapter 1: Capturing the Grave Bridge

The Grave bridge was in 1944 the longest road bridge in Europe (400m) and the first of the 3 strategic bridges that the XXX Corps was to cross on the Arnhem road. Its intact catch was vital. If it were to be destroyed

the 82nd and 1st airborne would be condemned. As a result, General Gavin planned a “helping hand” drop as close as possible to the two approaches to the bridge.
