Although Ste. Mere-Eglise had fallen by 5 AM to a scratch force of the 3rd Battalion, the scattered air drops of the 101st Airborne Division and the resulting loss of unit cohesion and communications equipment left the paratroopers as confused as the Germans. It was not surprising then that Lt.-Colonel Benjamin Vandercoort was ordered to turn his 2nd Battalion toward the already taken village and abandon his initial objective -- a blocking position astride Route 13 to the north. Vandervoort hedged his bets, however, and sent a platoon under Lt. Turner Turnbull to organize a roadblock in Neuville before moving south to Ste. Mere-Eglise. Turnbull beat a strong German column to the village by only 20 minutes.

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.
