La Fiere Bridge

La Fiere, Normandy, June 6, 1944: A Comapny, from the 505th Parachute Regiment was dropped 
near the La Fiere Bridge early on June 6th, 1944. Their job was to secure the bridgehead 
against the Germans until they were relieved by the amphibious assault later that day. 
Standing against repeated German counterattacks, the small band of paratroopers stood off 
infantry and tanks.

Game Length: 7 turns

For the Americans to win they must capture the bridge for the advancing U.S. forces coming up from the beach

Americans: Squads, MMG's, BAZ's, DC's, AT Gun
Germans: HMG, MMG's, LMG's, AFV

Board: #8, #20, #23 

Aftermath: What was expected to last a few hours lasted three days. The fighting from the 
beaches took longer than expected to reach the 505th. Company A and other units that reinforced 
over those three days held the Germans and kept them from closing the bridge to the forces 
coming up from the invasion.
