Assault on Arnhem is an operational level wargame for between one and four players, based on the famous Operation Market Garden campaign in September 1944.
Each player manages units in either the Allied or Axis forces fighting over the bridges leading to the Dutch town of Arnhem. The aim of the game is to either capture or defend the bridge objectives by a certain time in the game.

Excellent war game, reminds me of Hell's Highway and Highway to the Reich. Very simple but challenging. Worth the price.
Oh, boy.
Let's say you want to move infantry 1 hex on a clear terrain.
That should be 1 movement point, right?
Wrong. That's 1,5.
Now you want to move infantry HQ 1 hex on a clear terrain.
Soooo, that's 1,5, same as the infantry above?
Nope!
So, that's 1 this time?
Wrong again, that's 1,3.
Now you want to cross the river with the Infantry and Infantry HQ. Can you guess what's the movement cost?
You though +1 or +2 depending on the river type ? Or +1 for infantry and +2 for HQ?
Silly you, it's 0 for both. Crossing the river is free.
Let's say your whole task force consists of 3 paratrooper units and their HQ, all grouped up, on the road, in range of HQ, not an enemy in sight.
Can you just plain and simple move them? Probably you are suspicious at this point. You are right to be suspicious. You cannot.
You've got only 3 command points available (best case) so you need to permanantly leave 1 unit behind. Why? No reason.
Devs,
Can you please, please stop trying to reinvent the wheel.
I don't understand how can you mess up something as basic as movement in such a simple game.
Ok
After decades of playing board games this game is not that, nor does it even meet the criteria of a good "Beer and Pretzels" game in any genre be it electronic or good ol' board gaming. It is not even an acceptable recreation of the actual battle. Its not anything really...
I callz em' as I seez em...
just purchased Assault on Arnhem but the map will not let me scroll. Instead it jumps back to about 10 hexes in the upper left hand corner. Is there a fix????
to start off, this game has rather strange movement rules. Only certain units can be moved on each turn. Why moving a unit from the 82nd airborne would effect a unit in XXX Corps, makes no sense to me at all. The game also does not allow any change from the poor placement of units in the actual operation, so different tactics cannot be tried out. On the up side, it was only ten dollars.
Unfinished. Abandoned by publisher. Avoid.
This would be ok (barely ok) on a tablet or ipad. On a big screen it sucks immediately, big time, mostly because of the graphics.
Some games should remain where they belong: in the small portable world.
This small piece of software brings to memory first computer strategy games, concretely "Arnhem: The Operation Market Garden" from R.T.Smiths. Simple but a challenge. I think it's a must try. As someone said it's a good entry point to the genre. Congrats Hexwar.
Bad gameplay, don't buy, waste of money !!!
This game is great!!if you actually give it a chance(to those with the negative reviews!),and can get past the average or non existent graphics,but these TBS games are like this,this isnt gary grisbys or Decisive campaigns for that matter,but its definately worth the price its up for,and a great addition even if for those just starting out in TBS.If you love the whole Arnhem?red devil thing then this game comes reccomended on RPSG(rockpapershotgun)Im using mouse and kb and this game works FINE!(At the time of this review there was an issue with The Ported version hence comment about KB).If like me you want to learn on games like this before progressing onto Hardcore TBS like gary Grigsby's then this is great place to begin.
I played many hex boardgames as a kid (Panzer General, Napoleonic campaigns, civil war etc), loved em. This is not working very well in comparison.
For example, I just played exactly the same scenario of Nijhelm as both allies and then axis, but each time the units for the enemy side were altered? Where the heck did they come from?
This doesn't seem historical to me, it is either accurate or it's not, which is it?
The other thing is I do not recall a limitation on how many units you can move, it was only limited by their movement allowance, another innacuracy compared to the boardgames, and also unrealistic to say the least.
Not going to play anymore and will seek refund as this is not very well done at all.
At least not a bad game if you are searching für a Computer-Version of old school Hex-Boardgames. The strategic mechanics, graphics and the gameplay are well done for this kind of game. The reason why i wouldn´t recommend it is simply missing content. The four scenarios use the same map and are rather short. Every scenario simply starts on another part of the map, as axis or allies. To look like a 80s boardgame is great, to have less content than one is not.
If you want to enter the world of classical wargaming and to be a groghead, here is where you should start.
Get this game, it is cheap and not like other wargames on the market which are very costly and only hardcore fans of wargaming will buy it, because they know exactly what they are getting.
Assault on Arnhem is not only affordable wargame, it is also very accessible and easy to understand and play.
It is simplified comparing to the big names of WW2 wargames, but it is still a true wargame with all supplies, moral, HQ, terrains and order of battle system and mechanism are just there.
The interface and tool tips are clear and easy to understand, the mission are just clear and have a lot of strategy to do.
Unlike most of WW2 wargames where you play mostly on divisions level, here you play on lower scale (battalions), where also each turn consist of 2 hours, you have also night battles.
Each mission have certain objective and must achieved within a certain time.
You can play either allies as an attackers with mostly paratroopers units, or as an axis to defend certain location.
If you like this game, you can later look for something similar but more complex like Slithering/ Matrix games such as Decisive Campaigns or War in the East.
If you are already a wargamer, it is nice to add this game to you collection which you can play interesting scenarios of operation Market Garden.
Looked good but after 2 hours boring - odd order system so you cannot move all units - stupid time limits so units must be moved in an exact way so you can complete on time - no real planning just keep playing over and over and over until you get the right move sequence to complete in time limit required - was hoping it was going to be like the original arnhem board game i bought many years ago but on a computer - sadly not.
Just what i was looking for, a deep turned based hex style war game that is APPROACHABLE FOR ANYONE.
About time a game like this came along, and for a fair price to top it off.
I just hope there are more titles of this nature in the works.
Operational-level simulation of Operation Market-Garden in 1944 with hexagon map, battalion-sized units, ranged attack for artillery and anti-tank units, supply, fog of war, and most importantly limited command points which forces players to prioritize some moves and combat over others. This is the same operation that the book and film A Bridge Too Far is about, and this little game reminds me of a paper-and-dice game published by SPI in their magazine Fire & Movement in the early 1980s. So far the AI at medium has been fairly easy for me to defeat, playing both Axis and Allies, but this can be played with up to four people and several AI levels. Very good playability, with the full campaign lasting 4-6 hours in single player mode. I only wish the AI came in crazy aggressive mode because so far it has been a competent but sedate opponent. Recommended.
A very enjoyable and easy to understand hex-based historical wargame. This will be a great gateway game to get some of my friends started in the genre. Easy rules but there's plenty going on under the hood to please old grognards. Keep up the fine work and keep that pricepoint where it is.
Well worth $10.00 Cdn.
