Apr 28Firestorm: Market Garden Campaign Box
The largest airborne operation in history began on a sunny Sunday in September 1944. An entire airborne army was committed in a bold attempt to seize the keybridges leading into the heartland of the German Reich. Over 4,000 Allied aircraft took off from airfields to launch a surprise assault on German-occupied Holland. 1300 British tanks were poised at the Belgian border to follow up this airborne attack. The ultimate goal was to gain a bridgehead at Arnhem over the Rhine River into Germany, in an attempt to end the war by Christmas.
Firestorm—Market Garden allows you and your friends the opportunity to recreate the airborne assaults, armoured attacks and desperate counterattacks that were Operation Market Garden. As Battlefront’s second game using the Firestorm system, new airborne, Allied armour, and variable Firestorm Troop rules have been introduced to allow the course of history to be replayed in those critical days of September 1944.
While the ultimate outcome of the real Operation Market Garden can’t be changed, your game’s final result is up to you. Either side can win. Generalfeldmarschall Model could once again rally his beleaguered German troops and halt the Allied advance through Holland, or you could keep the fires lit under XXX Corps and make the 64 mile (100km) trip from Eindhoven to Arnhem in the three days allotted, break through the German defences and end the war by Christmas.
