Vark Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 MG will allow an interesting case of role reversal as when dealing with allied airborne troops (especially 1AB). It will be the Germans who will be armour heavy, backed with artillery (plenty of it) but often using variable quality infantry v highly trained infantry, dug in, but lacking in fire support (untill the radio link with XXX Corps), and AT assets. In essence a reversal of fortunes for the two sides, though XXX Corps offers plenty of opportunities to simulated the more conventional force ratios, enjoyed by the allies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen Von Television Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I wholly agree: this is the reason I'd been stuck to this battle for so many years; it's a perfect scenario to play the many 'what if'.or just to appreciate the varieties of tactical problems. Above all to remember the heroic sacrifices made by so many! In the ancient Japan popular culture the real hero is not always the winner, but more often the loser... well, that is another story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vark Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Agree, with your agreement! I have always been fascinated by the battle, doubly so when I was fortunate enough to meet some 1AB veterans whilst touring the museum in Oosterbeck. The fighting after the end of MG cost the US airborne units greater casualties than MG and you could even try and represent the frogmen attacking the Nijmegen bridge! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
