I suggest that the 01-Eindoven to 04-Nederwetten route should be removed.

This would make the bridges in the Eindoven sector more important, and
penalize the reliance on the Nederwetten-Gemart corridor to just bypasses the bridges.

is this being considered?? because its a great idea.

were still going to have to have a house rule of some sort tho......a blind man can take that map in one turn as long as he's willing to lose some troops, the way the german Flak... a/t guns perform.

What is really needed is a Nedderwerten   german blocking force to halt or slow down the possible XXX corps use of this route, until 107bde can be brought into action.

The route is a historical one that XXX corps attempted to use but were blocked by strong German defence.

Status: offline 		the book 'it never snows in september" eludes to strong german forces on that flank, but i dont believe the book actually goes into specific's as to what the allies were up against per say in that area. anyone know?

sounds like a reasonable idea Oddball. my suggestion would be a fairly strong static BG...stronger than the one the allies come up against at Valkenswaard on the 1st turn of the GC, perhaps more tanks?

Status: offline 		Wasn't my idea. It was Steve's after I'd pointed out this thread to him but I do agree it's the best solution. Thanks for the suggestion re: stronger static BG on that route. Will pass it along for consideration.

Status: offline 		^ It's a step in the right direction, however a normal BG might be better. I already modded a static one in myself and tested it. Those static BGs are vulnerable to attrition. Without replacements for lost soldiers, you can't hold out long with them.
