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 Screaming Eagles faced almost no opposition until the paratroopers reached the northern outskirts of the village of Zon. As the 1st Battalion entered the village with A Company in the vanguard, they were fired upon by a concealed heavy AA piece – the fabled German 88, one of several in place to protect the bridge from Allied bombers.
Attacker: American (1st and 2nd Batt., 506th PIR, 101st Airborne)
Defender: German (Selbstaendige FlaK Batterie, Flieger Division 7)

2022-06-29(D) Raffaele Ianni vs Marco German win
2022-06-28(A) Alvaro Radigales vs Solo American winA very tense scenario presenting a number of difficulties for both sides. The American forces entering at the start have a lot of open ground to cover and are potentially badly outnumbered. Later reinforcements change this but the clock keeps ticking.

The Americans managed to exit the required VP by turn five, thanks among other things to a providential malfunction of one of the merciless German 88s.
2022-06-22(A) Craig Renier vs Jim Liang American winThe Germans set up their guns in an orchard on the center hill and in the road in the center of the village. The Americans sent two squads around the east side while the remainder of the paratroopers fought through the village. The flanking force ended up being only a minor distraction for the Germans. In the center, the defenders ably laid down residual complicating the American advance. However, smoke was the American friend this scenario, with very few failed rolls. When the 88 in the road malfunctioned followed by a squad with LMG in the O6 building breaking, the village route was nearly clear for the paratroopers to walk through. Once again, though, the Germans were able to place residual in key hexes slowing the advance. Part of the American flanking force was able to enter into CC against the 2nd 88 gun crew and stayed in Melee for two turns before finally winning, after being reduced. On the American final turn, the outcome was not yet decided. Again, smoke saved the American dash for the board edge. In the end, the Americans met the VCs and then some, despite a well played defense.
