Paul Koenig’s Market Garden is a series of small-format, competitive introductory-level wargames covering the critical first three days of Operation Market-Garden, where the Allies attempted to seize a series of bridges in Holland and end WWII before Christmas. Each game in the series covers a separate bridge: Arnhem, Nijmegen, and Eindhoven.

As a player, you must command your German or Allied forces so as to capture key objectives on the board while keeping your casualties down (and your opponent’s casualties up). Eindhoven Bridge is the second game in the Market Garden series, covering the events happening at this vital fiver crossing from September 17th-19th, 1944. Each player commands their German or American forces so as to capture key objectives on the board while keeping your casualties down (and your opponent’s casualties up).

With plenty of decision making and Optional Rules to extend gameplay and realism, the very collapse of Germany is at stake as you make your stand and bring your enemies down at Eindhoven Bridge!

Operation: Veritable is a modest complexity level, two-player game on the battle for the Reichswald (National Forest) during the waning days of World War 2. This desperate campaign was fought during the second and third weeks of February and into March, 1945 in bitter cold and over inhospitable ground. Despite facing looming defeat, the Wehrmacht put up a stiff, well-organized defense – a matter of history that is told in game format as only the venerable wargame designer and history teacher Paul Rohrbaugh can tell it.

Employing a foundation of standard wargame mechanics, these have been neatly and simply rearranged to provide amazing depth and “slam, bam!” action that simulates a campaign where the Germans were eager to surrender and the Allies loath to take casualties. Brave Commonwealth troops from Canada, England, Wales and Scotland launched an offensive that General Bernard Law Montgomery hoped would finally bring them to the Rhine River and victory, and now it’s your turn to lead them!

The Drive on Metz is a two-player game recreating General George S. Patton’s attempt to seize the key city of Metz and get across the Moselle River before the retreating Germans could form an effective defense. The American forces, comprised of three divisions of the 20th Corps, had just completed an epic pursuit across France after the Allied breakout from the Normandy beachhead. The exhausted Allied forces were at the end of their supply line and had barely enough resources left for one last push.

The defending German forces, four divisions of the 82nd Corps of the German 1st Army, were a combination of hastily collected and organized units, including fresh units from the German interior and remnants of units that Patton had been pursuing across France.

The battle, which began on 7 September 1944 and lasted for about a week, was a singular opportunity that could have gone either way.
