A Piece of Market Garden in 54mm

Last Saturday I christened my recent 54mm WW2 collection with a game using the skirmish rules called "Nuts!". The scenario was based on the link up between the British armoured column of XXX Corps and the Polish Paratroopers in Driel. The Poles and the British tanks started at opposite ends of the 3 meter table. In between the German player had noted hidden units on a map that were not revealed until they were spotted. That's what the British reconnaissance unit of two Daimler scout cars, a Bren gun carrier and two jeeps were supposed to detect. Unfortunately, the recon unit ran straight into heavy German resistance on the first move and soon ceased being a viable unit. A little further into the German defenses, a Pak 40 anti tank gun and a panzer revealed themselves from behind woods and a hedge and soon one of the British Sherman tanks "brewed up". Meanwhile, on the Polish side of the table, the Polish Paras advanced cautiously and made contact with two German infantry units hidden in a drainage ditch. The Poles boldly advanced through an open field and, with luck on their side won the rifle and grenade contest and forced both German units to retreat. A single Daimler scout car had survived the initial German ambush  and it rushed toward the Poles only to be disabled by a lucky shot from a German armored car which had

emerged from hiding. The Poles set up their anti tank gun and blasted the panzer tank which had destroyed a British half track and stopped all progress on its side of the elevated road. After that we called the game in favor of the Allies, but the Germans had taken quite toll, wiping out the recon unit, a Sherman and a half track before retiring. The Nuts! rules are designed for one man one figure combat and the size of the game stretched the rules to their limit. I am now looking for more of a company scale set of rules, but still using single figures.
