Unit Symbol Key

See also SCS rules, page 2.

Regular Combat Unit. A counter shows, from top to bottom: the number of steps available and, to the sides, the lower unit designation and its higher assignment. Below that is the unit size symbol (a boxed infantry-style symbol denotes company size), with a triangle in the corner if the unit is Exploit Capable. Along the bottom edge are three printed numbers: Attack, Defense, and Movement (an "Na" movement value means No Movement Allowance).

Artillery Unit. A counter shows the unit size (a symbol denoting battalion size) and, in a colored dot, its Range. Along the bottom edge are three printed numbers: Barrage, Defense, and Movement.

Air Strike Marker. A marker showing an aircraft symbol and a Barrage number.

1.2 Scale

Each turn is 1/2 a day. Each hex is approximately 600 meters. Ground units represent platoons and companies. Some artillery units are shown as battalions.

1.3 Terrain

1.3a Multiple Terrain Types. Some hexes have more than one terrain type within them. In those cases, use only the one …

…(for Movement) Use the type with the highest MP cost, but remember roads and railroads negate other terrain features for units using them.

…(for Combat) Use the single terrain most advantageous to the defender. If both hex and hexside features apply to a Combat, their effects are cumulative.

…(for Barrage) Use the modifier that is best for the target except that the "no modifier" value does not trump a negative modifier.

…(for Air Drop) Use the terrain in the hex with the worst Terrain Level for the dropping unit.

1.3b Railroads. For all purposes, Railroads are not considered to be "roads" for uses that prescribe needing "roads."

1.4 Counter Colors

German units are: Grey: Wehrmacht, Light Grey: Reichsarbeitsdienstleute (RAD), Black: SS, Light Blue: Luftwaffe, and Dark Blue: Kriegsmarine.

Allied units are: Light Red: Gds Arm, Khaki: 43rd Inf, Brown: XXX Corps, Orange: Dutch, Dark Red: Polish, Red: 1st Abn, Green: 82nd Abn, and Olive: 101st Abn.

Reduced units have a light colored boundary around the counter to help identify them as such.

1.5 Stacking

The stacking limit is generally four units.

Exceptions:

Full Hex Bridge hexes have a stacking limit of one, which is also enforced when units are moving.
Allied units in Entry Area A are exempt from stacking limits.
Bridging units do not count for stacking while the bridge is emplaced.

At the end of a player's Movement or Exploitation Phase, destroy friendly units that exceed the stacking limit. The owning player determines which units in the overstacked hex are to be eliminated.

A hex that becomes overstacked at the end of a retreat is immediately Disorganized (1.7).

Overruns cannot be made from an overstacked hex.

1.6 Special Unit Rules

1.6a Exploit-Capable Units. Yellow coded units are Exploit Capable. Only Exploit Capable units can overrun.

1.6b Units with a Movement Allowance of "Na". Units with a Movement Allowance (MA) of "Na" cannot Road March or move and are destroyed if forced to retreat. Since they cannot move using regular movement, units with an MA of "Na" (or zero) do not exert a ZOC.

1.6c Pioneers. German Pioneer units are considered to be "Engineers" for any rule specifying that unit type.

1.7 Disorganized Units (DG)

Units can become DG because of barrage fire or as a result of an overstack at the end of a retreat. DG units suffer the following penalties:

Their attack, barrage, defense and movement ratings are halved.
They lose Exploit Capability.
They have no ZOC.
They cannot Road March.
They cannot perform engineering functions (1.15a).

DG markers are removed from friendly stacks during a player's DG Removal Phase.

1.8 Supply

1.8a Trace Supply. Each unit must trace (as per SCS rule 12.1) to be "in supply." Units that cannot trace supply in the player's Supply Phase are marked Out of Supply. Units previously marked Out of Supply have their markers removed only in the Supply Phase if found to be able to trace supply again. The marker's effects remain until the marker itself is removed, even if trace supply seems to have been re-established earlier than that.

Out of Supply Effects. Out of Supply units…

cannot attack
defend at half strength
have no ZOC.
move at half MA (rounded normally).
Out of Supply artillery that needs, and has, ammo fires normally; artillery that does not expend ammo cannot fire.
lose their Exploitation Capability.
cannot Road March.

Germans. The Germans trace supply to any Entry Area hex to the west, north or east of the map area.

Allied Airborne. Trace to the Division's Glider & Divisional Troops DZ/LZ. If this location is currently occupied by the Germans, it cannot be used. The Polish Brigade can trace to any Divisional Glider & Divisional Troops DZ/LZ marker. Supply cannot be traced across a Prepared Bridge.

XXX Corps. Allied units that enter from the south map edge can only trace supply by following a path of 5 hexes or less (through any terrain type, including prohibited, but not through un-negated EZOCs) to a Road (either type) that leads (following nothing but road hexes) back to Entry Area A. The designated route cannot use any Light Bridges or Ferries. Supply cannot be traced across a Prepared Bridge. The XXX Corps Boundary does not restrict this supply trace.

Once XXX Corps breaks through to an Airborne Division, that division must then begin to follow these Trace Supply requirements as well. This occurs beginning on the first turn in which any supplied XXX Corps unit begins its Movement Phase at or within 3 hexes of any unit of that Airborne Division.

1.8b Artillery Ammunition. Both sides have a pool of artillery ammunition which they track using the side's Artillery Ammunition markers. The German player has one overall pool for his side. The Allied player has three pools (one for each Airborne Division). Each of these pools is tracked on the Artillery Ammunition Point Track on Map D.

One Artillery Ammo Point must be expended off the track for each yellow coded artillery unit that fires a barrage when stocks are not unlimited. If no ammo is available, a yellow coded artillery unit cannot fire.

Additional ammo arrives via further Air Drops (for the Airborne Divisions prior to their link up with XXX Corps), and from the Artillery Ammunition Table (for the Germans). Add these Ammo Points to the available pool on the track during the player's Reinforcement Phase or Air Drop Phase as appropriate. There is an unlimited amount of Artillery Ammo in England; the limiting factor for getting it to the Airborne divisions is the Air Drop Points allocated to it from those available.

Artillery that can trace using the XXX Corps Supply Trace have an unlimited amount of ammo and do not need to expend Ammo Points when they fire.

1.9 Ranged Weapons

Weapon-type units (88s, Mortars, Artillery, etc.) can fire at hexes that are not adjacent to them. For simplicity, these are all referred to as "artillery" in these rules.

There are no Line of Sight requirements. A friendly unit, however, must be adjacent to the desired target. Artillery can "self-spot" target hexes adjacent to themselves.

The range is on the counter (in the colored dot). Artillery units can fire out to this maximum range (in hexes, not MPs) and range has no effect on barrage rating. Count the range out from the unit's hex starting with the hex adjacent to the artillery.

Yellow Coded Artillery. Some artillery units have Yellow coding inside their unit symbols. These are larger artillery units which are more capable of generating losses than others and are required to expend Artillery Ammunition to fire.

No artillery unit has a ZOC. Artillery cannot tag along in attacks or advance after combat.

1.10 Barrage

Artillery units have a Barrage Rating and Range printed on them rather than an Attack Strength. An artillery unit can only make one Barrage per game turn in the player's own Barrage Phase. A given target hex can be barraged by any number of units, but all must be identified as firing at it before resolving the first of them against it.

Units can Barrage if in an EZOC, but the target must be adjacent to the firing unit.

1.10a Barrage. Resolve Barrages as follows:

Each barraging unit barrages the target hex independently. Do not add their ratings together.
Roll one die for each Barrage vs. each target hex. Modify this roll for terrain. If the modified roll is less than or equal to the Barrage Rating of the firer, all units in the target hex are DG. Additional DGs have no greater effect on a target unit except that each DG yields another Kill Roll attempt.
A raw roll of 1 is a DG regardless of any applicable modifiers.
For each DG result against a hex, roll one die as a "Kill Roll" for the stack (not once per unit). There are no modifiers to this Kill Roll. If the firing unit is yellow coded artillery, then kill one step on a roll of 4-6. If the firing unit is not yellow coded artillery, then kill one step on a 6. The owning player chooses which unit takes the step loss (if two units are in the hex). On any other roll, there is no effect beyond the DG result. Exception: see 3.1 75 or 88mm Guns, these units allow the firing player to select his choice of target unit.

1.10b Artillery and Non-Barrage Combat. Artillery units use their printed defense strength when defending in ground combat. They have no attack strength. Regular combat involving yellow coded artillery does not cost Ammo Points.

1.11 Air Strikes

In each player's Reinforcement Phase determine the number of Air Strikes he has available for his turn. The Allied player rolls two dice and the German player rolls one. The result is the number of available Air Strikes, except that each side cannot exceed its counter limit maximum (10 for the Allies, 5 for the Germans). Note that the difference between US and CW Air Strikes is purely for color; it has no game effect.

Allied Air Strikes can only be used south of the Waal River. German Air Strikes can only be used north of the Waal River.

Off Map Artillery and Spotters. On turns 1 and 2, the Off Map Artillery can barrage any target hex in range without any spotter. Beginning on turn 3, they must have a spotter like any other barrage.

Air Strikes are yellow coded artillery barrages that need no spotter, can hit anywhere on the allowed maps, have a Barrage Rating of 4 (Allied) or 2 (German), and do not use Artillery Ammunition. Beyond that, they are resolved like any other Barrage.

1.12 Road March

During a player's Road March Phase, the player can execute a Road March with any of his qualifying units.

1.12a Qualifications. To qualify for Road March, a unit must fulfill each of the following: a) The unit must be in a hex with a road (either type). b) The unit cannot be DG or Out of Supply. c) The unit cannot begin stacked. Exception: Units that are in a stack in an Entry Area hex (not air drop hex) on their turn of entry can Road March, but must still leave that hex individually. d) The unit cannot start 3 hexes or closer to an enemy unit (of any kind or status). Count hexes, terrain does not affect this distance.

No unit can execute a Road March or end a Road March as a stack.

Units with a zero Movement Allowance can Road March; units with an MA of "Na" cannot.

Just so it is clear, a unit can Road March on the turn it air drops, provided all other requirements are met.

1.12b Procedure. Move any distance along a road (of either type, but not Railroad). The unit must stop when: a) The player gets to the location he wishes to go. b) The unit enters any hex adjacent to a Sea Line crossed by the road it is using. c) The unit enters a hex adjacent to some other friendly unit blocking the road (since it cannot stack while Road Marching, it must stop). d) The max Road March distance for a unit that air dropped this turn is 12 hexes.

Units can move normally in the regular Movement Phase following a player's Road March Phase in which they moved.

1.12c Restrictions. A Road Marching unit cannot enter any hex adjacent to an enemy unit, regardless of whether the enemy unit has a ZOC. Friendly units do not negate this restriction. A Road Marching unit cannot move into any hex that does not follow a contiguous road.

Allied Road Marching units cannot "test" bridges to see if they blow. To do so, the unit must be moving in regular or Exploitation movement. Allied Road Marching units cannot cross a Prepared Bridge.

1.13 Full Hex Bridges & Enclosed Hexes

Full Hex Bridges are those which span two or more Sea Lines to get to the other bank of a river. Use the "Full Hex Bridge" row on the Terrain Effects Chart for units inside such a hex. Stacking of more than one unit (even during movement) is not allowed inside a Full Hex Bridge. Players can create a "Full hex bridge" hex out of an Enclosed hex (below) when they deploy one of their bridges.

Enclosed hexes are those that are fully surrounded by Sea Lines but which have no bridge within them (printed or created by the player). These hexes cannot be entered by any unit except those equipped with DUKWs (and even they cannot stop inside such a hex; they must have a pathway and enough MA to exit to the far side). Destroy any Air Drops (units or Ammo Points) that happen to land in such a hex. Note the Arnhem Pontoon Bridge hex (A49.07) counts only as an Enclosed hex until the bridge is finished. It is then treated as a Full Hex Bridge.

1.14 Ferries

There are numerous Ferry hexsides and even Full Hex Ferries on the map. All Ferries are automatically operational for both sides regardless of which side was the last to use the Ferry. Ferries can "carry" any unit type.

Ferries can only be used in the regular Movement Phase, never in Exploitation. Ferries cannot be used for XXX Corps Trace Supply. A Ferry may not be used to execute a retreat result from the Combat Table.

Four friendly units per turn can cross the river using a Ferry (4 total - not 4 in each direction). They can use their entire MA to get to a Ferry and then cross. It does not cost any MPs to cross using a Ferry, but units cannot move again that phase after crossing, regardless of how many MPs they might have remaining. Units cannot use a Ferry to cross if they will be overstacked on the far side. No unit can stop inside an Enclosed hex of a Ferry; it must move all the way to the opposite bank.

1.15 Engineers (Pioneers)

1.15a Emplacement. Engineers and Bridge units must be "emplaced" to execute any of the following functions. To be considered emplaced, the engineer or Bridge unit must begin the friendly Movement Phase adjacent to the hexside where the function is to occur and not be DG.

1.15b Creating Ferries. Any emplaced engineer can create a Ferry across a Sea Line. Engineer created Ferries follow the same rules as map-printed ones (1.14) except only friendly units may use the Ferry for any purpose (such as movement or Supply Trace). If the Ferry is to cross a full hex (i.e. two opposite hexsides), place the engineer in the hex itself. When the Ferry is taken down (in any friendly Movement Phase), place the engineer into either bank as if it had just crossed the Ferry itself (in other words, it cannot move further that phase). Even when emplaced as a Ferry, combat against an engineer from across a Sea Line hexside is still prohibited.

1.15c Bridging Units. The Allied player has a number of bridging units. These can be used to establish bridges across any single Sea Line hexside or inside any pair of Sea Lines needed to cross an Enclosed hex (see 1.13). When used to cross a pair of hexsides, the pair chosen must be directly across the hex from each other. A bridge built across a pair of hexsides is considered a Full Hex Bridge.

Bridging units do not qualify as "engineers" to create a Ferry. An emplaced Bridging unit can attempt to build a bridge in any friendly Movement Phase. Roll one die. On a 1-3 nothing happens and you can try again in the next Movement Phase. On a 4-6, flip the counter over to its Bridge side and the bridge exists. Once the bridge is built, it cannot be destroyed, and the Bridging unit no longer counts for stacking. Such bridges exist for the German player as well.

In any future Allied Movement Phase, should the player desire, flip the bridge back to its Bridging unit side on either side of the Sea Line and the Bridging unit can move normally from there.

These bridges are capable of carrying any unit type and qualify for XXX Corps Supply Trace purposes. Such a bridge is assumed to connect the roads on both banks regardless of how the course of the road is depicted in the two hexes.

1.15d The Arnhem Pontoon Bridge. Any engineer unit can complete the Arnhem Pontoon Bridge. If the unit is emplaced on either of the road hexes entering and adjacent to the Arnhem Pontoon Bridge, place the counter showing the completed bridge in the Pontoon Bridge's hex. Once rebuilt, this bridge cannot be taken down or destroyed and the engineer unit is free to leave. It is then treated as a Full Hex Bridge.

1.16 Light Bridges

There are a number of bridges on the map that are incapable of handling heavy vehicle traffic. These are marked with a "No Tanks" icon. No unit with an armor oval in its unit symbol can cross these bridges. Those units can, however, use a Light Bridge to allow attacks across the Sea Line.

Light Bridges cannot be used for XXX Corps Trace Supply.

1.17 Overruns

Overruns into various terrain types are allowed (or not) based on the listing on the Terrain Effects Chart. The usual SCS rule regarding the MP cost of the terrain does not apply here. Pay 2 MPs to Overrun, even if the technical cost of the terrain in the target hex is more than 2.

2.0 Allied Special Rules

2.1 Air Drops

For simplicity, "DZ" is used in these rules to designate both DZ as well as DZ/LZ markers. Rules listing DZ/LZ only apply to those markers.

2.1a DZ Markers. These are used to establish the planned Drop and Landing Zones. Once the player creates them, they cannot be moved (or destroyed). Each Airborne Division has one of these per regiment or brigade plus an additional one that is for all the division's glider and divisional units. There is also one specifically for the 1 Polish Abn Bde. Only units in the command listed on the DZ marker can use that marker for their drops. Note: The Polish AT Co must land at an Allied DZ/LZ.

2.1b Planning and Placement of DZ Markers. Before the Germans set up, the Allied player must record a hex number assigned to each DZ marker. All must be assigned a hex before the German player even sets up. These can be anywhere on the map, in any sort of terrain, with two restrictions.

All DZs of a given division must be at or within 20 hexes of any one common hex.
DZ markers cannot be adjacent to or placed in the same hex as some other DZ marker.

The player can place the markers on the map or not, as he desires.

Once assigned, the DZ marker hexes cannot be changed or altered in any way for the duration of the game (even if disaster results). Choose carefully!

2.1c Air Drop Points. The Allied player is given a number of Air Drop or Glider Points on Turn 1 and each AM turn thereafter (from Turn 4 and after, roll one die each AM turn at the beginning of the Air Drop Phase to determine the number of Air Drop / Glider Points available, one roll determines both values).

Each Point is capable of landing one unit counter of any type or size with one restriction—only Glider Points can be used to land any unit with a Glider symbol on it. The 1st Abn "Wpn" Companies must also land using Glider Points. Air Drop/Glider Points must be expended on the turn they are available. They cannot be saved from turn to turn.

Given the number of Air Drop/Glider Points available, the player is free to allocate them to the units available in England or use them for Artillery Ammo Point re-supply as desired.

Air Drops only occur on Turn 1 and on later AM turns.

2.1d Air Drop Procedure. In the Air Drop Phase, place each unit in turn on the appropriate DZ marker. Roll one die for direction (using the map's Scatter Diagram) and another (or two in the case of ammunition drops) for distance. The distance roll is divided by 2 (round down) in the case of unit drops. The result is the location of the actual landing. Exception: Units landing by Glider can adjust from this rolled hex one hex in any desired direction before checking for Air Drop Losses.

Any units or Ammo Points that manage to scatter off the map edge are removed from play and lost for good.

Then roll one die for Air Drop Losses to determine if there are any. Compare the roll against the Terrain Level of the hex (from the Terrain Effects Chart) and refer to the Air Drop Losses box to determine if the unit takes a step loss. If the Terrain Level is 0, success is automatic.

Then move onto the next unit, until all have landed for that turn.

Skip the Loss Roll if the unit scatters atop a German unit. It is automatically destroyed if that happens.

2.1e After Landing. Units function normally the turn they land. Exceptions:

Units that drop into Polder hexes cannot move or Road March on the turn of landing even if there is a road in the hex.
The max Road March distance for a unit that air dropped this turn is 12 hexes.

2.1f Glider & Divisional Troop DZ/LZs. Each Airborne Division has one DZ marker that is the landing location for its Glider Regiment/Brigade (DZ/LZ) and all the units assigned directly to the division. This is the only marker those units can be dropped onto. Also, note that this marker is the one used for Arty Ammo Point Drops and the airborne division's supply.

2.1g Air Drop of Arty Ammo Points. The player can use any number of his available Drop or Glider Points to land Artillery Ammunition instead. Each Air Drop/Glider point can carry one Artillery Ammo point. Follow the procedure in 2.1d to land these supplies, except roll and sum two dice for distance. Do not roll for Air Drop Losses for Artillery Ammo, instead determine the distance (in hexes) to the nearest friendly and enemy units which are capable of moving to that hex in normal movement.

If the distance to the friendly unit is less than the enemy, place the Artillery Ammo Point in the stocks of that division. If the enemy unit is closer, it is lost for good. If the distances are the same, flip a coin.

Note that while the game only has 18 Artillery Ammo Drop markers, the player is not constrained by the countermix (only by desire and the available Air Drop/Glider Points he wishes to use).

2.1h The CW "Pilot" Regiment. All "Pilot" units of 1st Abn arrive on the first turn any Glider Points are used for the 1st Abn and do not cost Air Drop or Glider Points themselves. Do not roll for their arrival, simply place them in or adjacent to the 1st Abn's Glider DZ/LZ. They are freebies.

2.2 The XXX Corps Boundary

The units belonging to XXX Corps (all Allied units entering from Entry Area A, including the armor brigades listed in 2.3 before they are released) are restricted in that they cannot move or attack into any hex outside the XXX Corps Boundary. The hexes containing the boundary are legal for XXX Corps units. Should such a unit be forced to retreat outside the boundary, there is no penalty, but the unit must move to be back within the boundary in the first available friendly Movement Phase. The boundary's interior is between the marked lines (inclusive of the line's hexes), such as the location of Entry Area A.

The boundary lines end at the Maas. All hexes north of the Maas are "within" the XXX Corps Boundary.

Units of the three Airborne Divisions (including the armor assigned to them as per 2.3 after link up), XXX Corps supply trace and all barrages are unaffected by the XXX Corps Boundary.

2.3 CW Armor Assigned to the US Airborne Divisions

Three battalions of CW armor have been assigned between the two US Airborne Divisions. These enter toward the rear of XXX Corps. They must move to be with their assigned division and cannot attack or Overrun until at least one of their units passes through any of the division's DZs. At that point the units assigned to that division are released. They can move and attack freely provided they always stay at or within 10 hexes of one of their division's airborne units. If for some reason there are no units of the airborne division within 10 hexes, they must move toward their nearest airborne unit. Once released, they are no longer hindered by the XXX Corps Boundary (2.2).

2.4 The 43rd CW Infantry Division's DUKWs

The 43rd CW Infantry Division rode into battle mounted in amphibious DUKW trucks. Therefore, some of the division's units can use the DUKW values on the Terrain Effects Chart. To help identify them, they are marked with an actual duck.

2.5 Off Map Artillery

A number of CW Artillery Battalions set up in the "0" hexrow of Map E (off map, basically). These units supported the initial attacks. They can reach any hex in any hexrow of Map E with the first two digits of its hex number less than or equal to their range (i.e. E12.xx would be at range 12).

3.0 German Special Rules

3.1 75 & 88mm Guns

The Germans have a handful of 75 and 88mm gun units. These units are capable of Barrage but are special in two ways:

Their Kill Roll succeeds on a roll of 5-6 instead of 6, even though they are small units. This makes a third type of Kill Roll different from the yellow coded artillery (4-6), and 'other' artillery (6).
The German player can choose the target unit to take the step loss, as opposed to the normal case where the targeted player gets to choose from his own units.

Both of these special cases apply only to Barrage resolution, and have no effect at all on normal combats these units might be involved in.

3.2 Bridge Blowing

A number of bridges start with "Prepared" markers on or adjacent to them. These bridges were wired for demolition. No other bridges are so wired.

The moment any Allied unit enters a hex at one end of a Prepared Bridge (regular Movement, Exploitation Movement and Advance After Combat only, never during Road March or a retreat), the German player must decide to blow the bridge or not. The German player must also decide to blow a bridge at the start of the Allied Movement Phase if there is an Allied unit on or at one end of a Prepared Bridge. If he decides to blow the bridge, roll one die. If the roll is in the range on the bridge's counter, flip it over to its "Blown" side and the bridge ceases to exist. On any other roll, the bridge survives and the marker is removed. If the one attempt fails, the bridge cannot be blown and the marker is removed. Any German unit on a Full Hex Bridge when it is destroyed must immediately retreat to one of the end hexes. Any Allied unit on a Full Hex Bridge when it is destroyed is eliminated.

If the German player declines to attempt to blow the bridge, remove the marker and the bridge cannot be blown later.

3.3 Reinforcement Entry

The German player can shift the entry of his reinforcements up to three areas clockwise or counterclockwise (but not to Entry Area A, ever, of course!) by following this rule. Note that the shift done is by Entry Area letter, not hex, so even if an Entry Area allows for entry at more than one hex, it still counts as one for this purpose.

For each turn the German player delays the units, he can shift one area. All units of a given group of reinforcements must shift together (no cherry picking). Literally place the reinforcement group along the map edge opposite the new Entry Area to await the next turn.

When that turn comes, the player can either: have the units arrive in this new Entry Area OR shift them one more area in the same direction they shifted before. Once shifted, reinforcements cannot shift "back again" or hold in place; they must either enter the map or shift further in the same direction. Once the maximum of three shifts has occurred, they must enter the map.

Just so it is clear, the units are to be displayed along the outside of the map so that the Allied player can see their potential entry points.

4.0 Victory

To win a campaign victory, the Allies must establish the XXX Corps supply trace from Entry Area A across the Neder Rijn so that Airborne units in the city of Arnhem can use it for trace supply in the last Allied Supply Phase of the game.

Any other result is a German victory.

5.2 Sept 17 Historical Drop Zones Campaign

This is the whole campaign game with the historical drop and landing zones for the Allies.

First Turn: 1 Last Turn: 17 Length: 17 turns Special Rules: There is no Planning and Placement of DZ Markers (2.1b). The Allied units to air drop have been pre-determined. There are no Air Drop Points. There are some deviations from the game rules for Air Drops. The historical DZ hexes are listed below. Note that while most correlate directly to the usual game DZ hexes listed, there is additional historical detail shown that is beyond the player's normal abilities to plan his drops. This additional freedom is not accorded to the player to avoid micro-management issues. Air Drops scatter from these hexes normally.

Allied Artillery Points Available: Airborne: None at start. 4 Artillery Ammo Points arrive with each yellow coded artillery unit landed (The ammo comes with the artillery, there is no additional Air Drop/Glider Point required for this ammunition.) The ammo arrives safely, even if the artillery unit itself is destroyed on landing. Airborne formations do not receive any reinforcement Artillery Ammo Points - they only get the 4 Artillery Ammo Points that land with each yellow coded artillery unit.

5.8 Hell's Highway

The attack cut the supply lines of XXX Corps.

The most significant cut of the Hell's Highway supply line to the 43rd Wessex and Guards Armoured divisions came on 22 September 1944. The German's had planned a two pronged attack at the highway by 59th Division's Kampfgruppe Huber from the west while a divisional strength Kampfgruppe Walther drove in from the east.

American operations by the 101st PID 501 and 502 PIR disrupted the drive from the west which was also weakened by the late arrival of von der Heydte's 6th Fallschirmjager Regiment. However, the drive from the east was much more successful. Oberst Walther's aim was to capture Veghel, blow the four bridges and block the road long enough for the Allied divisions to the north to be destroyed.

Historically, the battle was effectively over by the end of the day on the 23rd when Kampfgruppe Walther was ordered to disengage due to heavy losses.

Errata

Game Box

The back of the game box lists 3 play aides and 2 booklets. There are actually 4 play aides and no booklets.

Play Aide Cards

The set up card shows the 6 Ersatz setting up around hex A56.03 and the rulebook set up says B24.19. The rulebook is correct.
The Air Drop slots on the second row of turn 6 (Air Drop and Glider Points display) should be blue like the others.
On the German Order of Arrival Card, the following are different from their listings in the rulebook (the rulebook being correct): Turn 1: KG Dewald enters at C or D (not just C) and KG Jenkel should arrive at J not H.

Counters

Technically speaking, the US Glider Weapons Companies did not use their letter designations as shown on the counters, but were simply "Weapons Companies."
The back of C/1/501 should be 1-3-6 like the others, not 1-4-6.
The back of the A/4So/129 should have a DUKW symbol. The back of B/Hus/129 should not have a DUKW symbol.
The back of 3/1/Cold should be 3-2-12 like the others, not 3-3-12.

Map

The partial hex to the east of E62.00 is considered a full hex and the road from E62.00 to D1.16 is uninterrupted and usable.

German Order of Arrival

Reminder: CW Off Map Artillery does not need a spotter on Turns 1 and 2. It needs normal spotting on Turn 3 and after.

Number in bold after a listing is the number of counters in the entering group.

Allied Order of Arrival

All enter via Entry Area A. Like any reinforcement, the number of units able to enter in a given turn are considered to be in Entry Hex A in the Reinforcement Phase and able to move from there during the Road March Phase.

Reminder: Off Map Artillery does not need a spotter on Turns 1 and 2. It needs normal spotting on Turn 3 and after.

A = Attacker Result D = Defender Result # = Number of Steps lost r# = Retreat hexes required If the Alternate Result is called for, use only the Step Loss listed with d#, ignore the D# and r# results for the defender. Attacker results remain as printed in those cases. d# results have no effect on combats where the Alternate Result is not mandated by terrain.

P = Prohibited movement and combat unless following a Road or Railroad, see note (a) below. Destroy any unit forced into this terrain in a hex without a road. ot = Use the other terrain in the hex to determine this ne = No Effect - = Not available or allowed A x1/2 means the attacker's combat strength is halved.

(a) If attacking across a hexside Bridge, A x1/2 instead. See also note (c) below regarding Full Hex Bridges. (b) Do not apply the –1 to Air Strikes, only Artillery Barrages. (c) If attacking only out of a Bridge hex, apply Left 2 Shift. If the attackers are attacking out of the Bridge hex in conjunction with units attacking on the same side of the river as the defenders, Left 1 Shift. Attackers which are not in the Bridge hex but are attacking into it along the road apply a Right 1 Shift. (d) Use "2" if the unit's printed MA is less than 8 or the unit is equipped with DUKWs. Use "5" if the unit's printed MA is 8 or more and does not have DUKWs. (e) Use this value if the unit is equipped with DUKWs. (f) While overruns are allowed into a Polder Hex, apply A x1/2 in addition to the Left 1 Shift for an overrun.

Artillery DG Roll

Roll one die for each Barraging unit, add any Barrage Terrain Effect. If the result is less than or equal to the unit's Barrage Rating, the target stack is DG and a Kill Roll is made against it.

A raw DG Roll of 1 always DGs the target hex, regardless of any modifiers that might apply.

Reminder: CW Off Map Artillery does not need a spotter on Turns 1 and 2. It needs normal spotting on Turn 3 and after.

Kill Roll

For each DG result against a hex, roll one die. There are no terrain effects on the Kill Roll itself. If the firing unit is…

…Yellow Coded Artillery or Air Strike: No Effect 1-3, Kill one step 4-6, Targeted player's choice from the Target Hex

…75mm or 88mm Guns: No Effect 1-4, Kill one step 5-6, Firing player's choice from the Target hex

…Any other Artillery type: No Effect 1-5, Kill one step 6, Targeted player's choice from the Target Hex

Air Drop Scatter Distance Roll

Units. Roll one die. Divide the result by 2 and round down. This value is the number of hexes scattered in the direction rolled off the Scatter Diagram.

Glider units can adjust one hex in any direction from the rolled landing hex, if desired. This never applies to Artillery Ammo drops.

Artillery Ammo. Roll two dice. The result is the number of hexes scattered in the direction rolled off the Scatter Diagram.

Air Drop Losses

Roll one die per landing unit. If the roll is less than or equal to the Air Drop Level of the terrain, destroy one step. There is no other effect.

If landing is into "P" terrain or atop enemy units, the unit is destroyed.

One Step Loss (in addition to any from the roll) if landing in an EZOC.

Do not roll for losses for ammunition drops based on terrain (they "succeed" based on the distances from them to enemy and friendly units).
