Description

Operation Market Garden is a "double-blind" game focusing on the failed Allied airborne offensive of September 1944. It was one of three "double-blind" land warfare wargames released by GDW in the eighties. The game system used two maps so that both players were "in the dark" as to the disposition of the opposing forces at the start of the game. The game system does not require a referee, but instead relies on the honor system. Operation Market Garden is in the same series with The Normandy Campaign and 8th Army: Operation Crusader – The Winter Battles for Tobruk, 1941, and was republished in #115 of Command magazine Japan in 2014.
