Pegasus Bridge, North of Caen: June 6th, 1944. (Scenario Size: Brigade. Allied Human vs Axis AI) In the early morning hours of the 6th of June, the paratroopers and glider men of the 6th British Airborne Division were landed on the far left end of the Normandy Beachhead. Their mission was to protect the flank of the British 3rd Infantry Division scheduled to land just west of the Orne Estuary. The action began with the glider coup-de-grace by Major John Howards D Company of the 2nd Battalion, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry. Their task was to secure the bridges across the Orne River and Canal and hold until relieved. Over the next 2 hours all of Brigadier Nigel Poett's 5th Parachute Brigade would land to build this easternmost bridgehead before the local German forces counterattacked. This scenario is a truncated version of #0606_02: East of the Orne - 6th Airborne's Landings. See the 'Getting Started' guide for a play through tutorial.

A fun and very exciting scenario as the Allied player. Turns into a race against the clock.
Mostly the Allied player has all the initiative
Un scénario qui permet de découvrir les premiers mécanismes du jeu qui sont trés interréssants. En revanche les allemands n'ont que peu de chance de gagner. Cela donne envi de poursuivre sur des scénarios plus complexes.
If you are on your own, overlapping in green pastures with the sun on your face, do not be troubled, for you are the Champs Elyseum, and you're already dead!
