Holland '44: Operation Market-Garden, September 1944

Holland '44: Operation Market-Garden, September 1944 is a board game that recreates the Allied ground and airborne assault in the Netherlands with focused operational maneuver and two-player tension.

Set during Operation Market-Garden, the game begins with the September 17 airborne landings and follows the race to relieve isolated Allied divisions and seize a bridge across the Rhine. Players command forces across a battalion-scale system that emphasizes movement, combat, river crossings, bridge building, and the pressures of fighting through the Dutch terrain. Its structure is approachable for experienced hex-and-counter players, but it still delivers meaningful command decisions through traffic markers, defensive positioning, and tight timing across a 20-turn campaign. The 2nd Edition updates the order of battle with many counter changes and adds rule revisions to bring the system in line with other 19xx titles. Available now at Boarding School Games—fight for the bridges.
