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)

| 2026-06-11 | (A) Todd G | vs | David | American win (VASL Log) | Hearing reports of 88s in the area, Americans proceeded cautiously probing the hill, the eastern route, as well as the route through the village of Zon. Determining the village to be the "safer" route, the Americans marched in full force only to come face to face with a Flak 18. [unbeknownst to us SK2 newbies, we missed the rule (1.2.6- last sentence) that disallows the 88's from setting up HiP in buildings] After falling breaking and falling back, the Americans pressed the assault routing out the 88's crew from the squads that probed the hill outside the village giving their broken comrades enough time to rally back and continue the advance into Zon. However, the courageous moment was short-lived as the squads moved into Zon from the hill they came under fire from the other, undiscovered 88 (also hidden in a building... see above). Rallying back once again, the Americans had had enough and enveloped the German squads nearby intending to bypass the gun. In doing so, the remaining Germans on the hill moved to take up positions on the ridge line to deny the Americans an easy advance to the south. With time against them, the Americans rallied once more and pressed the advance. Overwhelming the Germans defenses the Americans cleared Zon and proceeded south out of the city to seize the bridge over the Wilhelmina River. | ||

| 2025-07-13 | (D) Maximiliano Estravis Barcala | vs | DC | American win | The 88s setup on either side of the hill. The American offensive was very tilted towards the left, overwhelming the defense. Eventually, the unused 88 on the right flank was abandoned by its crew in a desperate attempt to stop the Americans, who could escape with many more points than needed. | ||
| 2025-06-19 | (A) Michael Harris | vs | Jasper L. | German win | 2 hrs | ||
| 2025-06-15 | (A) Maximiliano Estravis Barcala | vs | DC | American win | Both 88s setup HIPped on the right side of the map. They malfunction during early game, which, combined with a brutal assault on the left side, seal the American victory. |
