I realize this has been asked before in terms of a short campaign, but I was wondering if any small scenarios were available in WinSPWW2 representing engagements that took place during Operation Market Garden.

Thanks!

Speaking of which, has anyone managed to win Scenario 125--Lippert Attacks the DZ? Played it several times w/o even beating the AI on points. Probably not as hard as Graebner's Charge (#123) but still pretty daunting. Would appreciate some elliptical observations by a successful commander. Thanks.

I did pretty good on this map when I played it. It has been a while for me to remember exactly what I did. But first I know I went over the first objective, with most of my troops and tanks massed together, and kept close to the houses, using the grouped tanks for fire support. Basically getting someone to get the AI to fire from a house, then attacking that house with all I got.
I used smoke from the arty to provide screens after that to draw out the anti tanks and allowing the massed tanks to pound a single target at a time if possible.
I ran a lot of troops north (up) from there after the anti tanks revealed that it would be tough to go straight to the hill. Using the troops on the road north and the others at those first houses I was able to knock out or suppress enough to advance. I do not think that I ever got the final objective due to turns running out, but if I had two or three more turns I would have definitely done it. Hope that helps.

I have to say, I am quite disappointed by the market garden scenarios. They (with some exceptions) seem rather quickly made, especially the maps, which are often half empty for some reason. I have half a mind making my own series on market garden.

OK thanks. But did you win it? That last hill objective is worth 190 points, more than half the other 3 100-pointers. I've come close as you did but ran out of time. Wish me luck next time. Cheers and Merry Christmas!
