Jeffrey scrambles back into the command truck as a shell passes overhead. "Sir, the men at Arnhem are reporting heavy armour buildup there, sir! They are falling back. The good news is that reinforcements have dropped in, sir!" The commander looks up from his map, his face white with either fear or anger, tis hard to tell, "Well at least Grave is near next to in our hands.. But I just got a report stating a Stug batallion with infantry attacked our boys at Groesbeek.. This is getting dire, my dear Jeffrey. Let us hope we can finally reach Eindhoven the next few hours, so we may push on.." The armored column seems to have cleared most of the obstacles in it's way and with little resistance left prepare to besiege Eindhoven and relieve the 101st airborne troops there. Meanwhile, the Bridge at Grave is overrun. German defenders frantically try to defend the town, and a boat filled with defenders is seen and sunk! From the west, troops advance on the town, taking prisonners and scattering the defenders as best they can. At Groesbeek two Stugs pop up and the contingent of troops left behind does their best to contain the mess that ensues. Nijmegen is assaulted from all sides now and the German troops there take heavy casualties. The town will fall if the paratroopers manage to keep the initiative. In Arnhem British troops pull back to the west, taking out every vehicle that gets in their way if they get the chance. More panzers are discovered as the Brits near the church push their advance into town. I'm quite sure now.. this may turn into a stalemate.. :D
