radio man in N44 alt scenario question

[Volcano Man]

On a side note, I wonder: is there any possibility that the Rangers really capture Pointe-du-Hoc ? It seems impossible odds. They get a Supply Source of 2 just so that they don't fall into isolated status but they are low on ammo nonetheless, so they are quite powerless. I'm trying to help them with a couple of naval barrages and air strikes, but I think they are doomed to fail.

Yes, it is quite simple really: just assault the hex on the first turn. All the German units at Pointe du Hoc are disrupted at start, so the assault will (or should) always work. Start a new scenario and try it out. I am afraid that if you did not assault with the Rangers on turn 1, then chances are the Germans at Pointe du Hoc have recovered and it will likely be impossible to take it after that.
