The Devil's Cauldron: The Battles for Arnhem and Nijmegen

A company-level simulation of the northern two drop zones in Operation Market Garden, covering Arnhem, the Island and Groesbeek Heights with an option for a linked grand campaign. Players command company-sized infantry and supporting units on 500 m hex maps, managing movement, combat and command-and-control constraints across turns representing two-hour daytime and longer night periods. Multiple scenarios range from short, one-hour engagements to an extended campaign of roughly 50 hours of play. Components support operational play: multiple large map sheets and extensions, hundreds of die-cut counters, detailed series and exclusive rulebooks, divisional displays, charts and historical background.
