Overview:

Lt. Colonel Edward Krause and his paratroopers of the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment had just beaten back the first German assault on the crossroad town of Sainte-Mère-Église. Krause, wounded in that action, was disturbed by the German presence on Hill 20 from whence the attack came. A large volume of artillery fire was directed at the town from that hill, and the casualties this caused had now become more than a mere nuisance. Krause wanted that hilltop position silenced.
Attacker: American (3rd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division)
Defender: German (Ost Bataillon 795 (Georgian), Infanterie-Division 709)

(VASL Log)		The Americans started off very aggressively with two elements approaching from the far northwest corner. My initial strategy was to use Lt. Col. Krause and his company minus to establish a base of fire on the village while Capt. Swingler and his troopers would envelop the Germans and end up on the hill in the end.

Well, Capt. Swingler went berserk attempt to cross a critical road crossing through a fire lane and he died breaking some of the remaining troopers with him. My strategy then turned more conservative as I approached the hill.

A timely rally in the Top of the 6th allowed one lone Half Squad to avoid residual fire and advance ono the hill for an American victory. A good and very close game!
