In 1944, three Allied airborne units were dropped into Holland to secure vital bridges and therefore clear the way for the Allied advance. This wargame simulates five different scenarios in this campaign.

The game can be played by up to three players. In the one player game, the player controls the allies against a computer opponent and, in the three player game, separate players play the British and American units that make up the Allied force.

The battles are fought on a map far bigger than the computer's scrolling screen therefore the enclosed full map is useful for planning tactics.

The scenarios range from the shortest which depicts just the advance to Eindhoven to the full Market Garden scenario which takes about ten hours to complete.

Each of the scenarios consists of a number of turns, during which a player can advance his units or perhaps order them to dig into defensive positions.

Arnhem is a well-designed wargame and as most of the Allied forces are airborne and therefore can land anywhere. Each game will be different.
