ASL T5 The Pouppeville Exit (US attack)

ASL T5 The Pouppeville Exit (US attack)
This is an adaptation of ASL Scenario T5 from The General issue 24.2 (originally adapted for ASL by Jim Stahler). The player controls the attacking Americans. See the version notes for changes from the original.

With the invasion at Normandy underway, the first Allied troops to see fighting were the men of the airborne divisions. Most of these early encounters for the 101st Airborne Division occurred at the many German strongpoints and scattered villages located behind the invasion beaches. In helping to secure the southern beach exits for the troops on Utah Beach, a small combat group from the 3rd Battalion of the 501st Regiment set out to clear the village of Pouppeville at beach Exit #1. By 0800, Colonel Ewell and his men had reached the village and begun their attack.
