St. Mere-Eglise was a junction for five roads and was recognized by Germans and Americans alike as the key to defeating the airborne invasion. Shortly after midnight, the village's garrison, a transport and supply company, had massacred in mid-air two sticks of paratroopers. Those men had the misfortune to be dropped directly on the village while the garrison was in the streets policing fire-fighting efforts caused by preliminary bombings. Inexplicably, the Germans then returned to their beds where they were captured or shot four hours later by avenging paratroopers of the 3rd Battalion. Having given the village away, the Germans would now have to pay dearly to get it back.  
 
This scenario was designed for PBEM play. Against the AI it is best to play as the Germans, and the computer must be free to place the American units.
