Description Edit | History

Devil's Cauldron is a company level simulation of the Northern two drop zones in Operation Market Garden. It is loosely based on an old Victory Games game called Panzer Command.

Command and control is emphasized in this system and the game includes extensive documentation and historical background.

Components include 4 linking maps (for the grand campaign) and three smaller gamettes (on Arnhem, the Island and Groesbeek Heights - each with its own rules and map). 1600 counters (of which roughly 700 are actual combat units) and attendant documentation.

Play time for the various games range from one hour all the way up to 50 or so for the grand campaign.

The game will link with Where Eagles Dare depicting the Southern drop to provide a Market Garden monster game.

This is the first game in a new series of company level games from MMP.

  • OPERATIONS Special Issue No. 1, Summer 2008 - This issue's bonus countersheet contains 15 replacement counters. Per MMP: "All are straight replacements for the same named counter in the box except for the D/10/4 - which replaces C/10/4 - and some added convenience markers."
