## Description
Storm Over Arnhem is a wargame that simulates the fierce battle for Arnhem Bridge during World War II, from September 18th to 21st, 1944. The British are defending the area around the bridge, while the Germans attempt to take control. Each full turn represents 8 hours of combat and is divided into multiple impulses, where players can move or attack with a limited number of units. Once a unit acts, it becomes committed and cannot act again until the next turn. Combat is resolved by adding attack and defense values, plus the roll of two dice, and the difference determines the number of loss points the defender must suffer. With relatively low complexity for a wargame, Storm Over Arnhem is a great introduction to the genre.
