Overview:

One of the responsibilities of the Airborne troops was the seizure of several key bridges following the D-Day drop. One of these bridges was at Chef-du-Pont. Gavin organized a pickup force to take care of this bridge himself. With elements of the 507th split into two groups, he marched on Chef-du-Pont by closely parallel but different routes.
Attacker: American (507th Parachute Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division)

2022-04-07(A) Simon Staniforth vs American winAnother playing of this classic scenario, The Germans tried but failed to dig the Q10 foxhole and American firepower won the day with all the German OB captured or eliminated on the penultimate turn
2022-01-15(A) Rob Schmitt vs James Treu American winI played American Attacker. Defender set up a multilevel defense in center to cover as much in LOS entry as possible. German fire Broke several paratrooper squads on entry turn. But they rallied quickly with 10-3 leader influence. German player did not roll well when his broke squads tried to rally and had trouble recovering from it. I had a HOB Hero creation, I was able to effectively use him to get close and DM his broken squads by moving adjacent. I was able to charge the Entrenched squad at the exit point on Turn 5 with a HS and 2 Squads - he broke his squad due to a FPF MC miss. One squad in the charge survived and took the entrenchment. Enough paratrooper good order squads/leaders were in reach to exit on turn 6 so he conceded last part of turn 5.
2021-11-01(A) Owen Edwards vs Solitaire American winFinished by American Movement of T6, with a leader and two squads exited, and only one German squad left on the board. There was a bit of slog in the middle for the Americans trying to pin down or destroy the firing positions in the central village, but the quick capture of both (!) German MMGs set the tone.
2021-05-11(A) Christopher Graff vs Stephen Wolsky German winAmericans took some lucky German fire initially but quickly made their away around the German flanks. An unusual number of Hero and Battlefield Promotions for the American nearly gave them the win, but they ran out of time and made some last minute blunders near the exit hex.
2021-02-25(A) Lee Hyde vs Grant Hewitt German winFirst ASL Game for my opponent, although he had played SL many years ago. Learnt quickly, and whilst the Americans made great progress to begin with, it suddenly fell apart when the dice wouldn’t let me pass a MC, Had to resort to a last turn Hail Mary rush, and enough Germans were there to shut it down.
