This is the first in a series of game books which put you in command
of the forces in engaged in some of history's most famous battles. Your tactical
skill and ability to make the right command decision will be tested at every
turn of the page. Operation Market Garden in September 1944 was one of the most
daring Allied plans of the Second World War. An audacious surprise assault from
the air, it was intended to give the Allies a bridgehead across the Rhine,
removing the last significant natural barrier on the road to Berlin. If successful it
might have shortened the war by months. Will the brave British paratroopers be
able to seize the vital bridge at Arnhem and hold it until reinforcements fight
their way through? Or will the Germans be able to recover the initiative and
crush them in a skilful counterattack?
The book presents you with a series of command decisions, aided by
situation maps; directing you to the next relevant briefing depending on the
option you choose. No dice are necessary to play, just this book and your
tactical skill. When you buy this book, the fate of nations is in your
hands.
