Sequoia Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I'd be interested in opinions if the new bridge types Market-Garden will bring will make a satisfactory enough facsimile of Pegasus Bridge? Of course this will be a subjective opinion. Perhaps there's already a Pegasus Bridge scenario most people are happy with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 There is no duplicate if the Pegasus bridge per se but there's a girder bridge type that would make a decent enough stand-in. The single-span version of the 'angular' bridge type patterned after the Graves bridge. There's also a multi-span version to bridge bigger gaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 IIRC there is already a really good Pegasus bridge scenario. It is part of a user made campaign (first mission). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altipueri Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 It's much smaller than that girder bridge I seem to recall. Not like Arnhem, just single span and not much more than a vehicle width. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pak40 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 IIRC, Pegasus Bridge closely resembles this one: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altipueri Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Yeah, that's good enough. Stephen Amrose has a book on Pegasus Bridge which I enjoyed, although I know some people don't like his books. I like the words of one of the glider pilots said over his shoulder to the paras the moment the plane came to a halt after breaking in two - "We're here, piss off and do what you're paid to do." Although I've read it elsewhere more along the lines of "I've done my bit, now piss off and do yours" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
