About the Game:
Set during one of the most famous battles of the Second World War, Combat! 3: Arnhem places you in command of the British paratroopers defending Arnhem Bridge during Operation Market Garden. Facing repeated German assaults, your objective is simple—but far from easy: hold your positions for as long as possible against overwhelming odds.
Every soldier is represented individually, allowing each engagement to develop into its own memorable story of courage, sacrifice, and determination. Orders are assigned at the beginning of each turn while the game's sophisticated AI controls German forces, producing realistic enemy behaviour without requiring complex charts or excessive bookkeeping.
Combat unfolds through an impulse-based system where initiative, leadership, morale, suppression, wounds, and battlefield conditions all influence the action. The unpredictable AI ensures that German attacks rarely develop the same way twice, forcing players to continually adapt their tactics as the situation evolves.
Several historical scenarios recreate different stages of the fighting around Arnhem Bridge. Each battle can be played independently or linked together into a campaign, with the outcome of one scenario influencing those that follow. This creates an evolving narrative that rewards careful planning, resource management, and tactical flexibility.
Whether defending key buildings, repelling infantry assaults, or making desperate last stands around the bridgehead, every mission captures the tension and uncertainty that made Arnhem one of the most iconic battles of the war.

Although fully compatible with the acclaimed Combat! series, Combat! 3: Arnhem is a complete standalone game and requires no previous Combat! titles to play.
