Is Arnhem on the correct side of the major river. I thought once Monty's legions drove into Arnhem it was supposed to be clear sailing all the way to Berlin.

By the looks of it I think there would be another major river to cross.

Another one to far?

Or just bad geography

No its right, and the final reason why the whole thing was a farce,

The Ijssel is a major river in its own right and its east of Arnhehm. Worse, and not really shown on the game map, the terrain to the east is really broken up (even now and must have been worse in the 40s), so even if Market Garden had worked it would have led to something of a dead-end.

The reality was the road to the Reich was across the Meuse
