A further two major buildings from the northern end of the bridge ramp have now been fully printed.

The Van Limburg Stirum School

This building is perhaps one of the best known from the area flanking the bridge ramp. It sits on the east side of the bridge ramp, and as would be expected for a school is a substantially sized building. This building was occupied by the HQ element and 9 Platoon, C Company, 3rd Parachute Battalion, along with elements of A & B Troop 1st Parachute Squadron, Royal Engineers. According to Middlebrook there were 75 members of 1st Parachute Squadron, RE and 45 men from C Company at the bridge so it is likely the bulk of these 120 men deployed in the school.

A pre-war photo of the school, with the bridge ramp just able to be seen behind it. This shows how well the defenders on the 1st floor (2nd floor for our American friends) would be able to see and fire upon any traffic on the ramp.

Cpt E Mackay, A Troop, 1st Parachute Squadron, RE who commanded the sappers in the building stated after the battle:

"The ramp was on a level with our first floor, with its edge about twelve yards away." (Zwarts, 2024)

The model has a footprint of some 12.5" x 8.5" (320mm x 220m) and in game terms would easily require an entire platoon to defend it.

15 Eusebiusbinnensingel

This is another imposing building having been a hospital previously but in 1944 was being used as offices for the Department of Public works. It was occupied by the bulk of 1st Parachute Brigade HQ (the Brigade defence platoon was next door in the building immediately to its north) but also being used as an aid post and housing German prisoners.

The Kickstarter building dimensions are a little off, but it works from a game perspective so I did not tinker with it, with a footprint of 8" x 5" (200mm x 125mm). Middlebrook has the Brigade HQ numbering 110 men (which includes the defence platoon in the building next door) so again a significant presence.
