Had a small space and a few evenings free, so tried this scenario, one of three in Airborne set during Operation Market-Garden.

The Americans start with a large advantage in units (15 Para vs 8 Gren), although the Germans do get some reinforcements. The Americans set up in the woods south of the bridge and next to the town in the north. The Germans set up in the southern town (Best).

The paratroopers win the initiative and make it to the bridge first. They begin digging in, while the Germans fire at them from medium range. They are hoping for an early arrival of their reinforcements so they can take the bridge before the Americans make it down from the north.

The northern group of Paratroopers moves around the woods east of town and the two American forces combine. When the Geman armored car platoon arrives, the Americans have a choice: Remain dug-in around the bridge and allow the Germans to weaken them with direct and artillery fire, or assault and try to take out the armored car and Grenadiers in Best.

The Americans opt for the aggressive approach, and manage to take out the armored car platoon in an assault. They move up into the town and begin to clear out the Germans. The German reinforcements continue to trickle in, but too slowly to allow them to hold the Americans.

The scenario ends with the Americans dug-in around the bridge and holding all but one contested town hex. The Germans only inflicted five step losses on the Paratroopers. American victory.

This is an interesting scenario, but it seems from my playing to favor the Americans. It could be improved with a different setup, requiring the Americans to set up in the woods north of the river. This would give the Germans a better chance to reach the bridge first, and make the Americans work to take it before the German reinforcements arrive.
