Night Drop 2: Pegasus Bridge

The coup-de-main of Major Howard and his men during the night of 5–6 June 1944, as the 6th British Parachute Division lands east of Caen. Players direct scattered airborne units as they capture the bridges over the Orne and Caen Canal, destroy bridges over the Dives, silence the Merville batteries, and seize key villages despite disorganized drops, flooded landing zones, and German resistance. One hex represents 400 meters, one turn one hour, and each counter a platoon or company.
