Does anyone have any opinions as to 'best' Market Garden scenario? For play balance in particular? I show:

A Bridge Too Far (Tremain)
Hell's Highway (Coval)
Market Garden (Marshall)
Operation Market Garden 44 (Donovan)
South Holland 44 (Marshall)

Thoughts appreciated.

Has anyone actually played all these? One would have to be a Market Garden fanatic...though considering how many scenarios of this event are out there I guess there probably are a bunch of fanatics out there.

Hell's Highway works fairly well if one agrees to avoid a few really gaming things such as bombarding Allied off map airbases (which are a little close to some Axis artillery units...and artillery can fire through that black stuff).

However I can't compare it to the others listed having not played them.

There is also: "Five Weeks in '44" which is a modification of a Trey Marshall scenario. Apparantly the modifier made his mods with play balance in mind. Me and JoeBob are on turn 8 or so. So far really enjoyable but we'll have to report back later about balance.
The cd version of Market Garden has terrible stats in the game reports for balance.
