A bad drop prevented the 508th Parachute Regiment from securing any of it's objectives along the Douve River. The best effort was made by an ad hoc group of roughly two companies under Lt. Colonel Shanley whose drive towards the bridge at Pont L'Abbe was stopped cold by a battalion of the 1057th Grenadier Regiment. Thus rebuffed, the paratroopers fell back to the high ground overlooking the Chef-du-Pont crossing where they were surrounded and constantly harassed for the next two days. The key element of the position was a standing patrol in a farm and road junction at the bottom of the hill, blocking the road from the west to the bridge. At dawn on June 8th the Germans made their most determined effort to take it. 
 
This scenario was designed for PBEM. Against the AI, it is best to play as the Germans, and the computer must be free to place the American units.
