Small question on Joe's bridge

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Small question on Joe's bridge

Post by CptWaspLuca »

I like small scenarios, so I played this many times in the original HTTR. I noticed a big difference: the western (broken) bridge was a ford for infantry, I used to move some company north there. Now it seems not passable. I'm right? It's more historically accurate now?

Yes, I found no evidence that any other bridge was intact in this area so it was removed.

You will also notice in the Nijmegen scenarios that the bridge at Overasselt is no longer there. No evidence that one ever existed.

Should Overasselt at least have a ferry crossing point?

Thank you, good work. I would like a "what if" version similar to the old one, just for comparative purposes... but I'm happy that the game is now more accurate.
