Just those few words conjure well known images; a mass of
sodden troops storming ashore from landing craft.
But even the most well known battles were
influenced by small and little known actions at their
periphery, fought doggedly by the unknown and the unsung
soldiers. Small bands of highly motivated paratroopers
harassed, hindered, and generally caused havoc among the
German forces arrayed in Normandy in innumerable actions
that will most likely never be documented.
It is these men
and these situations that the scenarios in this book are all
about; sharp skirmishes, stealthy probes, and daring assaults
against superior numbers all the while surrounded by the
enemy.
Can you lead your small band through the perils of D-Day to
victory? Or, will the Germans crush your force and push the
Allied invaders back into the sea…?
