<g> You could say that, yes. I don't remember what the WW2 version is
called - virtually same mechanics, somewhat different stats - but some
of my friends use it to re-fight Market-Garden... slightly re-scaled;
each model represents about four vehicles :-)

I was the Allied overall commander for the first session - 36 hours
game time (not playing time!). We performed pretty much historically -
not identically, of course (the Germans were allowed to deploy as they
saw fit rather than historically), but we got about as far and took
about as heavy losses as the 30th did.
