“Death from Above”
St Mere Eglis: 02:30 hours
US TO&E / Setup
Objective: Para drop / Attack and hold the town of St Mere Eglis. Capture bridges, destroy targets of opportunity, and raise hell!
Setup:
Randomly roll for parachute drop points. The map is 3 x 4 tiles. Each tile is numbered 1-12.
Step 1: CiC runs the air drop.
Step 2: Number the 12 map tiles, 1-12.
Step 3: In any order, Roll a 1d12 for each squad. Place squad in the exact center of the hex for each map tile rolled.
Step 2: Choose wind drift. Roll a 1d6 against the direction hex marker. This is applied to all squads.
Step 3: For each squad, roll 1d6 to determine how many hexes the squad drifts. Move the squad the number of hexes in the direction of the wind.
-Squads landing in the same hex as the enemy or water are immediately destroyed.
-Squads that and off the table a simply placed in the last possible hex.
-Squads that land in a woods or buildings hex lose 1 soldier, and are fatigued for the first turn.
-Squads that land in land mine fields are immediately attacked, and fatigued.
-Squads are not “camouflaged” as per the game card, for the first turn.
Objectives:
-Place a 2 point Objective on any bridge hex. This is unknown to the German players.
Special rules:
-While one objective markers are placed on the table, the second is carried by the CiC and is placed on the table any turn he sees fit. This Objective marker is a spawn point, and needs to be protected. It has special rules:
-IS the only objective that US troops can spawn on.
-Does not generate CP’s until placed.
US Players use the:
“Command” Strategy deck
“Moral Deck I”
And use the
“Camouflage” card until turn 5
“Seize the initiative” card until turn 5
May use the “US Air Support Deck” starting turn 5
Tactics:
-Turns 1-4 are at night.
Although you are scattered about, you have the element of surprise. Recon, move quick and take them by surprise. Only the Bold players that are willing to kick some teeth in will win the day. You MUST capture Objective in 4 turns, before the sun comes up. DO NOT HESISTATE.
-Turns 5-8 is the real battle and the counter attack. Repeal at all costs. Dig in and hope for the best.
