Hello guys:
Anyone interested in a scenario from CH's “Arnhem: The Third Bridge (2nd ed.)” module — ATB # 4, “The Stand?” on 3-26-11 at “Emerald Knights” in Burbank?
It's short, very well-balanced (IIRC, that is…), and a lot of fun.
If you're interested, I'll e-mail you a package (if you don't have the module, that is) containing the scenario, the relevant “Third Bridge” Variant & Special Rules, and a scanned file of the section of the map used.
My down-the-road intent is to entice some unsuspecting souls into a FTF multi-player “Third Bridge” Campaign Game in the future, at my place in Burbank. I played the 1st ed. CG a couple of years ago and it was a blast. The CH version, in my opinion, plays out much more historically than the MMP version.
For instance, in the former, there is a viable reason to do Grabner's charge; in the latter it's pointless suicide for the German player. So, you lose the historical feel for the battle right there. To me, at least, the CH module just seemed to capture that battle better. The CH version, unlike ABTF, also got Grabner's vehicle right (a captured Brit. Humber A/C). OK, OK, enough about Grabner…
So, let me know either here, via PM, or by e-mail if you're up for some fun NE of Arnhem Bridge on the 26th.
