I'm not sure what the issue is, but on the 2v2 market garden I am unable to choose my faction, it simply puts me in first available. This is whether i join one or make one, and another player is having the same issue.

The Arnhem scenario - 1v1 and possibly the 2v2 - certain German fighters are labeled as airborne? They cannot attack other air unit formations. They tend to have JG in their name. Is this intended?

“Para support” units like eng and art removed from para formations.

Why?

Well, I haven't tested that scenario, but basically it surprises me.

If they were there... one knows that many airborne elements were brought by gliders instead of real parachutes, but still.

These units are not really airborne, they are regular land units. You need to debark them at a friendly airfield.
In this particular scenario it meant debarking them very close to their starting positions on a couple of coastal airfields.
So, not very useful. This scenario has plenty of on-map units already.
If the devs add some real para-engineers and -artillery....

By the end of turn two the US forces have not received any RPs. The French are on track with a princely one per turn!
Also there is still a problem with the reinforcements message box causing the game to freeze. It was worked around by ignoring it, the British Commander reported. I had to acknowledge the US's message, to move units. Game ran fine, perhaps because there were not the RPs to deploy them?

The map is excellently put together and the research into it is to be commended. I did however, find quite a few faults with it whilst playing it and it would have been interesting to read other players comments on the playability of the scenario as well. Playing as the Allies was quite a challenge, especially against the axis who appeared to get fifteen new units each turn, while you get zero. As it is has 40 turns, one can imagine the axis strength at the end of the game. It was impossible to hold either Arnhem or Nijmegen so I tried to out flank the axis troops by sweeping up the West side of the map. My troops all moved alright until I reached the river, the crossing went as normal but then the movement of the troop carriers reduced to one hex at a time. I had clear line of supply from the edge of the map but this did not help at all. With the units you have, there are no recon aircraft so one has to use either your fighter or bomber aircraft to recon. As mentioned, there are no reinforcements and one cannot purchase or upgrade units during the campaign which is a great shame as the scenario has so much potential.
With the supply depots, instead of knocking them out it would have been better to capture them and use the supply yourself. I destroyed all of the supply depots on the western side of the map but that did not stop the axis from repairing their units so they must have had quite a few supply depots on the eastern side of the map? If anyone else has played the Market Garden scenario to the end, I would be interested to read your comments. I did do a search of Market Garden and Arnhem but could not find a thread.
