Grand Campaign (All17th Sep - 26th Sep Allied Player vs Axis AI¨µ2@Operation Market-Garden - 1500 17 September 1944 to 1800 26 September 1944 The first lift of our airborne landings has gone well, but despite XXX Corps breaking through the German lines to the south they have been delayed ouside Valkenswaard and are not expected to reach Eindhoven until tomorrow. Due to the distances involved and a shortage of transport aircraft, the airborne forces must be dropped in three lifts, with one lift scheduled for the afternoon of each of the first three days of the operation. Holding the drop zones will be necessary to receive these reinforcements, as well as additional supplies. In the north, the British 1st Airborne is to seize the Rhine bridges at Arnhem and hold until relieved. At Nijmegen, the US 82nd Airborne is to seize the commanding ground of the Groesbeek Heights, the Grave bridge over the Maas, the Maas-Waal canal bridges, and the Waal river bride at Nijmegen. Intelligence believes the primary enemy threat in this area will come from the direction of the German border, southeast of Nijmegen. North of Eindhoven, the US 101st Airborne must seize the bridges at Son, St. Oedenrode, and Veghel, and then link up with XXX Corps in Eindhoven. The two British Corps on either side of the corridor are expected to push north and secure the flanks of the breakthrough, but should they fail to keep pace the 101st must be prepared to do the job. XXX Corps must drive north as quickly as possible, and link up with each airborne division in turn. The Guards Armoured Division will lead the way, followed by the 43rd Wessex Division. The 50th Northumbrian Division will follow and help protect the flanks of the advance. The schedule calls for XXX Corps to reach Arnhem in two to four days.Operation Market-Garden - 1500 17 September 1944 to 1800 26 September 1944 Enemy tanks have broken our front lines south of Eindhoven, and there have been large-scale airborne landings north of Eindhoven, south and southeast of Nijmegen, and west of Arnhem. Clearly this is a major offensive designed to cut off all our forces in Holland and drive into the heart of the German industrial area of the Ruhr. 1st Fallschrimjaeger Army, holding the front line in southern Holland, must hold the shoulders of the enemy break through and prevent the British from widening the breach or advancing along its flanks. Korps Feldt, formed from rear area training and replacement units stationed just across the border in Germany, must attack the Allied landings near Nijmegen from the east. II. Fallschrimjaeger Korps, or what is left of it after the retreat from France, has been ordered to reinforce this attack. The II.SS Panzer Korps, refitting near Arnhem, will commit the remnants of the 9.SS Panzer division to defend Arnhem itself, while sending the 10.SS Panzer Division's forces to Nijmegen, where they will halt the Allied advance south of the Waal. Kampfgruppe von Tettau, formed from rear-area units and other ad-hoc forces guarding the Dutch coast, will attack from the west towards Arnhem. Together, II.SS Panzer Korps and KG von Tettau will encircle and destroy the Allied airborne troops landing near Arnhem.Tettau, formed from rear-area units and other ad-hoc forces guarding the Dutch coast, will attack from the west, north of the Rhine, towards Arnhem.
