The plans for the US Army in the prelude to the invasion of Normandy were a bold attempt to use airborne units to over come the difficult terrain and obsticles behind the beachhead. In the largest combat airdrop yet seen, two airborne divisions were delivered at night behind enemy lines to secure key bridges, towns and access points for ease of manoeuvre from the beaches. Due to the overwhelming risks of such an operation, causing missdrops all over Normandy, the paratroopers were unable to carry out many of their specific missions. Yet in spite of these problems, the Airborne's gamble paid off. With great courage and sacrifice they had gained control over enough key areas that the success of the amphibious invasion could be assured.


You are Spencer Flint, a Sergeant of the 506th PIR, 101st Airborne Division.

4 hours ago 6,000 British and American ships left ports in England bound for France. Normandy is the next step in the Allied plan to liberate Europe. At 0600hrs divisions of US and Commonwealth troops will land on the beaches of France in small craft with little to no cover. Their survival depends on you.

Airborne units will be preceding the amphibious forces into Normandy by a series of parachute drops from C47s. Once on the ground you will make for key strategic areas, capturing and holding them until our forces can establish a beachhead and move inland.

The Navy and Airforce can not provide effective fire support for the beach landings until the German battery of shore guns has been neutralised. It is vital that those guns be dealt with one way or another if the landings are to succeed.

This operation is top secret, the Germans don't know we're coming so we will have the element of surprise. To that end, S2 and S3 predict that you will encounter no mass forces or armour but once they spot the aircraft they will mobilize heavy resistance in the form of mechanised infantry units as a reaction force.

Sergeant, you are about to play a pivitol role in the down fall of Nazi oppression. Good luck!
