And the paratroopers. For my money the 6th airborne scenario and the portion involving 6th airborne in Calvados coast is among the most fun scenarios in the game.
You can't see it but the Canadian battalion is trying to grab the Merville battery just off this map. I am being pressured much more than I had expected so I think I may have to pull the couple battalions furthest east (Canadian and British) back towards Pegasus. I actually have my doubts now that I can even hold the bridge as my losses among the glider troops have been massive and he constantly mortars my AT guns on the ridge.
I entrenched the AT guns early to protect them, but it has not been enough. Also, I had to use the glider crews to parry a thrust from the north that I have no other troops to fight off.
In the darkness I was using local superiority to keep attrition in my favor but with daylight the German mortars and artillery have really cut my paras up.
Against a human I suspect you would have to be more conservative and pull back the eastern most paras at once to shore up the bridge defense.
If anyone has any questions feel free to ask, and thanks for reading.
