Description
This Historical Module (number 4) focuses on the
famous attack on the Pegasus Bridge in Normandy. D Company,
2nd Oxfordshire and Bunkinghamshire Light Infantry (glider) seized the
bridge just after midnight on 6 June. Reinforced by
paratroopers from the 7th Battalion, 6th Airborne Division dig in to
hold the bridge against the German 21st Panzer Division and the 716th
Infantry Division. Eight attacks were repulsed before the
Warwickshires, advancing from Sword Beach, relieved them.
The module includes 6 scenarios that highlight the
key points of the battle, as well as 2 campaign games that cover the
take over and defense of the bridge.
The module features new equipment
and terrain. Examples include ditches that criss-crossed the
landscape and obsolete French AFVs that the Germans pressed into
service.
Each unit represents a squad, crew, leader or
weapon. Each hexagon represents 40 meters of
terrain. Each turn represents 2 minutes of time.
The ASL system is vast, with many modules
available. Each module focuses on a particular theme and
provide counters, maps and scenarios to play.
This item only contains module specific rules and
counters. Players must purchase the ASL Rulebook, Beyond
Valor, Yanks and West of Alamien (or its replacement module, For King
and Country) to
play.
