The main forces included in Hell's Highway are an Irish Guards Armoured Squadron, a Welsh Guards Armoured Recce Squadron, a Guards Rifle Company, a 2nd Household Cavalry Squadron, US Parachute Rifle Company (both 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions) and a Fallschirmjager company with two variants for the veteran 6th Fallschirmjager Regiment and the battered and rebuilding 3rd Fallschirmjager Division.
Flames Of War Hell's Highway includes several key figures that played important roles in the corridor to Arnhem.
-
The Irish Guards are led by the famous Lt. Colonel Joe Vandeleur, the commander of the Irish Guards battlegroup. This new warrior can join your Flames Of War Irish Guards battlegroup. His special rules will keep you column moving forward as well as helping blast away anything standing in your way with precision air strikes and point-blank volleys from your tanks.
-
Major Julian Cook is the warrior for the US paratroopers. Under his direction your Flames Of War paratroopers from the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment will be an assault force to be feared. He has access to extra parachute engineers, river crossing abilities and a cool special rule for your pack howitzers to help prepare the way for your assault.
-
Oberstleutnant Freiherr von der Heydte should be no stranger to the Flames Of War community, appearing in both North Africa and Normandy. Those familiar with von der Heydte will tell you that Holland isn't the last place he'll turn up either. When the Allies attacked, he assumed command of all Kampfgruppe Walther's assets south of Valkenswaard.
