Overview
What ABG knows about this game
"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 wargame 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.
