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)

| 2023-05-02 | (A) Andreas R | vs | Jenny | American win | ||
| 2022-11-10 | (A) Craig Renier | vs | Bob W | American win | The first American force foolishly moved across the CA of a revealed 88 on Turn 1 and remained out of the fight for 2 more turns. The reinforcements moved significantly better, making steady progress through the village with the aide of numerous smoke grenades. However, the outcome remained in doubt as the Germans withdrew generally in good order. However, a key defender broke on the German left providing an important opening. Smoke was again favorable as the Americans made a move for the exits. The 2nd 88 was well placed, but lost ROF early leaving little for the defender to do as the Americans exited. | |
| 2022-10-02 | (D) Bob McKenna | vs | Robert Kroczynski | American win | Americans turn German left flank. 88 s pound thr paratroopers with criticsl.hits. American roll box cars breaking bazooka and MMG. Americans overcome, re group and pin a key point of the ad hoc defense and rush to the bridge for the late win.. Lots of fun. | |
| 2022-09-21 | (A) Jack Wilson | vs | Bob T. | American win | Played Bob on VASL. This SK version is modeled after the ASL classic "Zon With the Wind." Very similar dynamics at play: Americans must overcome a modest screening force backed by two HIP 88s in order to exit at least 7VP off the edge--and do it all in 6 turns. I managed to clear the center buildings and capture the two hills on the American right by about turn 4. Bob opened up with both 88s about then. I was lucky in that he mostly rolled high on his TH DRs, and when he did hit, I only lost one squad to breaking. This was highly fortunate for me, as those 88s, once they score a hit, attack on the IFT with a 16 flat. If they make rate a few times, they can send a lot of units to medevac very quickly. Once the 88s revealed themselves, the classic American FP zeroed in on the guns and I was able to silence the main gun holding me up on my right. Very fun game, very much worth a replay. BTW, we both had brain-cramps and overlooked the last sentence of rule 1.2.6 which points out that only small target guns and AT/INF guns that are not large targets can set up in buildings. That definitely limits the hiding places for the 88s. Why that sentence is not under 6.0 "Ordnance," I do not know. Another example of the hunt-and-peck-connect-the-dots-system of the SKRB. | |
| 2022-08-13 | (A) Dmitry Klyuykov | vs | Slava Zipunov | American win (VASL Log) | Americans cautiously advanced on the first two turns to find some weak spot in German defence. After breaking some German squads, paratroopers got on the hill and run all the way to the exit area, suffering some casualties from the guns. |
