British hang on in Arnhem

It has been a close call but the British have made to 8pm and still hold on to 3 key buildings. The Germans cannot expect to make any progress during the night and could even lose some ground to counterattacks. A very interesting playing of an old scenario I had been disappointed by.

I think the British were unlucky in the initial stages and lost some key units - like the artillery FOO. They also did too much sniping in their INITIATIVE which cost them some units.

I am sticking with the historical deployments as far as I can, and the British would be better served by having some 2 Para units in the HQ building. This fell very easily. I think the British would also benefit from using normal FP attacks sometimes and falling back to regain concealment. Alternating units in the front line. They also didn't get any use out of their demo charges.

There is certainly more that could be done and the Germans gain a lot from omniscience - more than the British do. Interesting though.
