This September the Saint Crispin Irregulars Wargaming Club of Anaheim, California are gonna go "A BRIDGE TOO FAR"!
To commemorate its 80th Anniversary we will run a 28mm refight of Operation Market Garden -- covering Hell's Highway, Eindhoven, Nijmegen & Arnhem.
This time will Allied armor succeed in crossing the Rhine to relieve the desperate British Paras at Arnhem and set the stage to beat the Soviets to Berlin?
This is gonna be epic, so we need as many players as we can recruit.
We'll start at 9:00am and will go until XXX Corps reaches the British 1st Airborne Division…
…Or the Red Devils are overrun like they were, tragically, in 1944.
If you can't be there for the kickoff at 9:00am, show up later in the day or night & you may get a chance to step in and command troops.
As at many convention games we'll be using FIRE & MANEUVER home-brew rules.
In the past we've done Eindhoven…
We've done Nijmegen…
And we've done Arnhem…
But we've never done them altogether at once at a convention before!
Do we have enough troops, terrain & tables? YES.
Have we play-tested it? YES.
Will it work? YES.
Are we nuts? MAYBE… but that never kept anyone from enjoying one of our games before!
If you live in Southern California or plan to be in the area on the last weekend of September, we hope to see you there!
