Notes:

• The river is around 12 ft (3.5 m) deep with a slow current. The bank has a sharp slope down to the water about 12 ft (3.5 m) below normal ground level
  
• The big bridge (stone) is wide enough and can support a tank. The smaller bridges (wooden) are only wide enough for two men shoulder to shoulder.
  
• Buildings have identical floor plans on all levels.
• The small number in certain buildings denotes how many floors/stories the building has.
• The long boxes that look like staircases... are.
• The small gray boxes around the bridge are ladders that go from the base of the bridge up to road level.
• The small gray boxes in two buildings lead to a flat roof.

If there are any questions about the map feel free to ask.
The map is final and not open for modification.
Unit restrictions are negotiable.

If I finish my battle with Erik or Jonas gets released sometime soon, I might join this if you don't have enough Axis.

[William Luther]

Right, we've decided Market Garden has become inactive, so you get the pleasure, nay, the privelage at dying at the hands of Tag Team Schluther.

We provide the funeral.

[∬: Erik Schneider]

Not quite inactive, but much too slow paced. With it taking so long and Speirs apparently going inactive as well, we'd much rather move into a battle that isn't so slow paced. Once Felix agrees, we can move on and Team Schluther will roll over you.

[Jonathan Strange]

I'll probably be bringing 6 Pvts, 2 Cpls, and 1 Sgt. I'll make adjustments depending on what you and the other Allied player bring.

[⊕ Owen Pearson]

I'd like to get into a good battle. I can bring up to 6 Privates and I suppose that I could adjust that with the extra CP laying about...

[Edward"Butcher"McMillan]

I MOD!!! I MOD!!!

If this battle is still open for sign ups, I could have Jeremiah come if you need an extra rifleman. I don't have anything to really bring, but I will be happy to fight alongside you guys. And I am in your Company, Strange.

[Nathan Whyte]

Sorry, mate, but we've already got it a full 2 v 2

[Nathan Whyte]

We can match those numbers, but if Owen wants to bring his spotter with him, can we bring a radioman?

Also, do you guys want to up this to about 20 men each side? This map deserves it.

[⊕ Owen Pearson]

I wouldn't consider the two to be very equal. The ability to see enemy movement a bit better vs. the ability to call in reinforcements, medical help, and large explosive drops...

...see the problem there? (obviously)

[Nathan Whyte]

Well, that is a good point. Tell you what, we only have one Corporal, so, if we aren't going to increase the numbers, you bring the spotter as well, we'll have less a Corporal and the radioman. I'd say a spotter, when used in conjunction with a certed member and a Corporal are a fair match for a radioman, when the whole morale and leadership points are considered.

[∬: Erik Schneider]

Here's the deal we are looking to strike up:

Heiko and Owen:

12 Pvts
2 Cpls
1 Sgt
1 Spotter
1 Bren Carrier (with crew)

vs

Team Schluther:

12 Pvts
1 CPl
1 Sgt
1 Engineer
1 Radioman
1 Halftrack (with three man crew)

This stacks up to 19 v 19. We are willing to possibly drop the Halftrack if you really want.

[Jonathan Strange]

Owen has agreed to the unit numbers.

I'm think a posting order of:

Erik
Strange
Luther
Owen

and I'm still waiting on Rhys to get back to me about the halftrack.

[∬: Erik Schneider]

Sounds good to me. Hopefully, we can this up in the next few days.
