Decision at Elst An ASL Starter Kit Historical Module

He had bits and piece of the "big picture", and he knew that not all had gone as planned. He suspected that perhaps the Generals had been too ambitious this time, using the men as if their lives were just ammunition to be expended. He was concerned about the enemy occupying the tidy Dutch village ahead, but tried not to impart these concerns to the men who were counting on him. He knew there were brothers in arms up ahead who were in serious trouble. Having put the Red Devils far out on a limb in Arnhem, those ambitious generals now sought to salvage what they could, requiring him once again to enter the maelstrom. There were brave men who needed help. He would join the fray, and he would push his soldiers as hard as he could, because the Airborne was counting on them.
