Airborne In Your Pocket

Players take the role of a single Allied paratrooper dropped behind enemy lines the night before D-Day, exploring a fragmented countryside to locate an ammo dump, obtain explosives and infiltrate a hidden bunker to sabotage two coastal guns. Gameplay proceeds by placing Location tiles and resolving Event cards each turn to reveal terrain and encounters; combat and stealth are handled through simple player decisions and card-driven outcomes. The game offers a Basic mode for quick play and Advanced Scenarios and Campaigns for longer, narrative-driven sessions, with faction options for American, British, Canadian and French soldiers. Each box supplies components for one player; multiple boxes combine for up to four players.
