Description
The Grand Tactical Series (GTS) recaptures battles on a grand scale with the color and atmosphere that the great campaigns deserve. Updating Victory Games' popular, playable and accurate Panzer Command system, the series is also created with exquisite historical detail and a game system that allows the players to see the great "Whys" and "What Ifs" as the campaigns unfold.
Operation Market-Garden — A Bridge Too Far — has become one of the defining battles of World War II in the West. The Devil's Cauldron is the first of a Grand Tactical Series (GTS) series of games that will recapture these moments on a grand scale. Should the British Airborne have risked more to drop closer to Arnhem Bridge? Could XXX Corps have gotten to the beleaguered garrison at Arnhem Bridge? These questions are asked to this day and with Devil's Cauldron you can arrive at your own answers.
Incorporating the most up-to-date historical information as well as contributions from leading Market Garden-historians, the game's details are unmatched. The SS Marching band that was thrown into the early action; Jedburgh teams; captured Dutch Firetrucks; German Police units; and much more are presented. Maps have extraordinary detail and have been created to allow a true picture of what happened and to explain why it happened. Extensive historical and game notes are also provided to complete the "paper time capsule" effect.
The Devil's Cauldron covers the Northern half of the Market-Garden campaign, including the action of the British 1st Airborne and the U.S. 82nd All American Division. The Devil's Cauldron is fully playable on its own or as part of a grand campaign covering the entireity of Market-Garden when linked with its sister game, Where Eagles Dare.
This is a reprint of the original The Devil's Cauldron. The ONLY changes in this reprint edition are the incorporation of all known applicable errata, and the inclusion of the latest version of the series rules previously released in No Question of Surrender.
