North Bank ASL Scenario 110 OOSTERBEEK, HOLLAND, 24 September 1944: By Sunday, D-plus-7, the beleaguered British 1sth Airborne had contracted into a tight knot around the village, anchored by positions on the north bank of the Lower Rhine. Just across the water were friendly forces, but their every attempt to reach the Red Devils had failed. Within the shrinking perimeter the situation was critical. Ammunition was short and for every three men fit for combat, there were two seriosly wounded. At 1030 hours, a truce was arranged for the transfer of British wounded into German care. Dr. Graeme Warrack and Major Egon Skalka, divisional medical officers, who together had arranged the chivalrous cease-fire, now coordinated clearing "der Hexenkessel"-as the Oosterbeek perimeter had come to be called-of some 450 wounded. No sooner had this operation been completed, than the shelling began anew. With it came a determined German attack intended to push the paratroopers away from the riverbank and, consequently, their tenuous link with Allied troops to the south. Units Human Players German: Squads, LMG, AFV British: Squads, LMG, PIAT, AT - Use HIP noted below. Maps: Two Maps ASL 21, 8 Terrain: Urban Scenario Length: 7 Game Turns Victory objective: The Germans win by taking the three VL's. The British win by holding the VL's. In the absence of a hidden initial placement mechanism, this scenario has three British units that can "appear" on turn 2, or held for later. In the spirit of ASL, and to be fair to the German player, please note the starting hex locations and facing(AT gun) at the start of play. The British Administration Segment would be a good time. If a German unit has passed through the designated hex before you place it, choose the next closest reasonable hex to place the unit. TotH will not allow you to place a reinforcement in a hex that the enemy controls(last side to have occupied the hex). Enjoy! Adapted by: genesismwt
