The Germans although initially confused by the American Airborne operations in the early morning, their force is now organized and heading to attack Sainte MereEglise. Scouts report that Neuville–au–Plain was seized by what appear to be American paratroopers only a few hours ago. As the leading element, they were tasked with securing the commune quickly so that their forces can push on quickly to Sainte MereEglise. They have been assigned a good deal of support to help spearhead your attack and crush any resistance.

Landing the night before, the American Airborne successfully reached their objective of Neuville-au-Plain. After a brief fight in the morning they seized the small commune and established a defense. Scouts report, however, that a much larger German force is heading your way from Montebourg to the North. Scattered paratroopers are rallying in Sainte MereEglise, but command needs the platoon to hold here until defenses can be established. Delay the enemy advance as best you can and then withdraw to the South.
