A Bridge Too Far

It’s the paintball game that recreates the Operation Market Garden of World War II in which the American, Polish and British soldiers attempted to capture key bridges behind German lines in a complicated parachute and armoured assault. It is near the end of WWII. The Germans have lost most of France, and the Allied forces decide to give them the final hit. They plan to drop thousands of paratroopers in Holland and keep a few key positions there, until reenforcements arrive. The most important spot is the bridge of Arnhem; once it’s captured, it can block everything west of Germany. However, the operation was doomed to failure, due to a combination of poor Allied intelligence and the presence of two crack German Panzer divisions close to the Arnhem bridge over the Rhine.
