EINDHOVEN REDUCED TO RUBBLE BY ALLIES!

Turn 3. Week 1.
Of 4 Initiative rolls, only 1 Axis battle arrow placed. This time, at Weert road. There our Aufklarung company, part of Graebner's men, make their move and capture the Allied road. Though faced by the overly large and cumbersome US platoons, the dashing of our mechanized warriors was too much for the sons of democracy who found themselves unable to escape the superior firepower of our half track mounted MG42's.

Elsewhere, the Allies look to force an alternate route for supplies to reach the spearhead nearing Nijhmagen and Arnhem. To do this, simultaneous attacks at the Son Bridge by US parachute and Glider forces from the North and ruthless shelling of Eindhoven by Irish Guards from the south succeed in linking up and forcing out the beleaguered Axis defenders. Once a beautiful Medieval city, Eindhoven was not spared the Allied heavy guns and now the glowing embers and smashed brick serve as a graveyard for some of our German Security forces who could not escape the bombardment as they valiantly held the road open long enough for unarmed women and children to escape the shelling.

Finally, after some considerable delay, which it would seem is common place amongst the inferior Allied commanders as they bicker over tea about who will get the shiny trinkets they "liberate" at gunpoint from the Dutch citizenry, an attack was made on the Albert Road canal. Reports as to their success are not known, however, a motorcycle messenger from the area was said to have seen the the Allied tanks burning as they bogged down in the polders and it is hoped that the Germans defending the bridge may have held them off.
