Mongoose Publishing has announced an agreement with Battlefront, creators of Flames of War, to supply and distribute their first strategic board game, A Bridge Too Far, which is based on an ill-fated campaign in September of 1944 to use an airborne army to leapfrog the German lines and capture key bridges over the Rhine and end the war by Christmas.

In A Bridge Too Far players can re-enact the battle for control of the Low Countries that might have shortened the war by five months or more had it been successful.  Players take control of the action from the “General’s” view and can lead their army to victory by either repulsing the invading force or by taking the key bridges.

The deluxe A Bridge Too Far Board Game includes a multi-part, 22” x 48” game board, 46 plastic playing pieces, battle arrows, dice, and a rulebook.
