📖 About This Game

Battle for Arnhem is a low-complexity board-wargame on Operation Market-Garden. Designed for two players or solo play. The Allied player drops his paratroopers ahead of the ground advance, hoping to capture key bridges and cities. Meanwhile the tanks roll in from the south and fight their way through the German counter attack. This is a small game with simple rules, suitable for beginners, but play is tense and often comes down to the last turn. The Allied player has two ways to win which forces both players to plan ahead.

For the counters, separate the front and back portions of the counter sheet, then use the aligning holes to ensure proper alignment. Glue the front and back sheets to chipboard and cut using a glue stick or spray adhesive. A rotary cutter works best for cutting, but scissors will do. For the map, print out both map pages and tape or glue together. The full map is 22" x 8.5" with the pages joined end-to-end.
