Airborne Assault: Red Devils Over Arnhem

About

Take control of entire companies and battalions instead of individual soldiers in this real-time strategy game. Airborne Assault: Red Devils Over Arnhem uses a top-down map with abstract symbols to represent forces. You issue orders through this interface which also shows unit stats. The focus is on planning and logistics rather than instant reactions. Each move requires considering supply lines troop types and terrain effects. No base building or resource gathering just tactical command of historical formations. Twenty-two scenarios let you play as either the Allies or Axis during Operation Market Garden. Each scenario involves hundreds of units with over 80,000 soldiers across 440 different types. The ScenMaker Beta tool adds custom scenario creation. The scale and abstraction make it stand out for players who want strategy over action. Community reviews note its niche appeal with some calling it a "historical wargame for deskbound generals." Not flashy but methodical and data-heavy.
