Overview:

An ad hoc group of roughly two parachute companies under Lt. Colonel Shanley were stopped cold on their drive toward the bridge at Pont L’Abbe. They fell back to high ground overlooking the Chef-Du-Pont crossing. The key element of the position was a standing patrol in a farm and road junction, blocking the road from the west to the bridge. At dawn on June 8th, the Germans made their most determined effort to take it. . . For two days, Shanley and his men fought off repeated German attempts to overrun the main paratrooper landings and contributed substantially to establishing the Merderet bridgehead. This action has been considered decisive in helping the airborne meet its objectives at Normandy.

2022-12-17(A) Terrence Dorsey vs Solo American winPlayed original Paratrooper scenario without errata. US reinforcements did not arrive until turn 6! But in the meantime, the US mortar scored ROF repeatedly and was able to harass and slow the German advance and the sniper kept busy as well. US started out deployed into a loose perimeter around the outskirts of the farm, forcing, along with the mortar, a somewhat wary German advance, then pulled back to the farm buildings. In the end this meant that, by the time the Germans were able to assault the farm proper, they were short on time and good order squads.
2022-07-11(D) Kevin Sanders vs Adam Barrie American winSome good story telling mixed luck for the aggressive advancing Germans. US Mortar did nothing at all. But effective concealment and some solid melee wins help the US hold the village and win the day.
2022-05-14(A) Tony Fermendzin vs Steve Boro German win

(VASL Log)
A fun scenario where both sides get a chance to attack. The Americans were unlucky in this one, malfunctioning their mortar on the first turn. The Germans start out with quite a powerful force and were able to push up the middle into the buildings and flank the Americans to the south taking up positions on hill 621.

The American reinforcements had a tough time trying to get back into the buildings as the German force with all of their MG's were able to interdict them from the hilltop. Seems tough on the Americans if the Germans can get up onto the hilltop(s).
2021-11-25(D) Eric Gray vs Scott Gray American winGerman attack stalled from the beginning under US mortar and machine gun fire. Germans were just not able to to concentrate in force and seize any of the objective buildings.
2021-09-03(A) manzoli andrea vs Galletto American win
