Based on ASL Scenario 16

Authors: Berlichtingen and Cory Runyan

Date: June 7, 1944
Location: La Fiere, France.
Opponents: German attacker vs US Airborne defender.
Size: Small
Length: 18 turns
Time: Day
Weather: Clear
Ground Condition: Dry  

Ste. Mere-Eglise was under strong attack from the north so the 507th Parachute Regiment was shifted into a supporting position southwest of the town leaving only the 1st Battalion of the 505th Parachute Regiment facing the Germans at La Fiere. What was left of the Battalion was commanded by Lt. John Dolan -- eight senior officers having already been killed. The obsolete French tanks employed by the Germans on the Cotentin had been dealt with harshly in the streets of La Fiere the previous day, with four destroyed by a mere handful of paratroopers. Now the Germans would employ them again in more advantageous terrain.
 
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. 
The Map has been corrected in the 1.1 version.
