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 massive documentation and historical background to provide a full immersion experience.
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 attendent 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 a later-to-be-published game on the southern drop to provide a game on Market Garden of unprecedented scope.
This is the first game in a new series of games on company level by MMP.
