Overview:

The mission of the 101st Airborne Division in Operation Market-Garden was to secure the 15 miles of highway stretching from Eindhoven north to Veghel. The orders foe COL Robert Sink and his 506th Regiment were to seize the main highway bridge over the Wilhelmina Canal at Zon and secure Eindhoven. With his regiment down in good order along the edge of the Zonsche Woods, Sink sent Major James LaPrade's 1st Battalion racing to grab the vital bridge, followed closely by 2nd and 3rd Battalions. The Screaming Eagles faced almost no opposition until the Paratroopers reached the northern outskirts of the village of Zon.
Attacker: American (1st and 2nd Batt., 506th PIR, 101st Airborne)
Defender: German (Selbstaendige FlaK Batterie, Flieger Division 7)

2024-11-15(A) Mark Peak vs Dan Leader German winDan set up with his hidden 88s in the last tree line south and I just couldn't get by them. I thought I had a chance when he moved his forces to the village and I cut back across the hill but his 88s just got rate after rate and my good rolling early went dry in the end.

2024-08-17(D) Enrico Croce vs Enrico Croce American win4 hrs
2024-07-19(A) Herve Duval vs Seb Thomas American winVery tight game.
The Germans had incredibly good fire rolls.

But the US is a rallying machine. A couple of German mistakes led to a very tight finish were the remaining GIs all rushed cx on T6. 4 squads and 1 leader got broken (most of them by one shot by a pesky 2-3-6 and its residual FP1!).
But a 9-2, a 8-1 and a squad made it (the squad and the 8-1 passing the last NMC caused by a residual FP2). What a tense game!
2024-03-07(A) Matt Quinton vs James German winA little too conservative on the attack in the first few turns, put pressure on to move to the exit hexes in the last turn. The 88s had little effect - Germans set them both up HIP, and the first malfunctioned early (followed by a DM crew) and the second was placed right on the Southern edge so only had viable targets for a turn or two - and those targets were effectively trapped in a building.
