Mission "The Eye of a Needle" by Snut (snuts@web.de)

Juny 1944, somewhere in France. 

Mission description : 

The Allied forces are advancing further into the countryside after securing the beachhead.
But many smaller squads have been cut off from counterattacking German panzer forces - this 
also happenend to a small squad of GIs whose task is to defend an important brigde. 
The Germans are preparing to regain control of the brigde, which would deliver a critical 
blow to Allied supply lines in this area. The defenders are trying to delay the German forces 
until reinforcements have arrived. 

Allied objectives : 

GI, your task is to defend the area around the brigde until reinforcements arrive. 
There´s still some armoured firepower avaible, but the Sherman is out of fuel and ammo, 
so its your task to prevail any damage to it. We also need to protect the jeep, which 
is vital for delivering information to other nearby squads. 
Get your men together and move out - the Krauts are preparing a counterattack and 
should be here very soon! 

Axis objectives : 

Soldat, our recon forces have reported light infantry forces and some armor located at 
the brigde area. Smash their vehicles and the Angloamerikan invaders will run for their 
lifes - we know too good that they´re nothing without air and tank support. Wipe their 
armor out and seize the area! 
In order to provide you with some AT weapons, we dropped some Panzerschrecks nearby via 
parachutes. Just pick them up and you´re ready to go! 

Have Fun!
