The Battle for La Fiere

Description
Map and scripting done by myself. Please provide feedback, positive or negative, as it's the best way for me to improve.

The mortal ferocity of the 4 day battle for control of the small stone bridge of the Merderet River at La Fiere is testament to the bridges strategic importance to the D-Day invasion of June 1944. Without control of the bridge and it's vital causeway, Americans coming from Utah Beach would not have been able to force their way inland.

Fought mostly by Paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne Division, the battle to secure the bridge at La Fiere is described as 'probably the bloodiest small unit struggle in the history of American arms'. Victory at La Fiere cost more than 250 American lives, and yet the fateful engagements story is largely unknown.

Really enjoyed this, not too many troops to handle.
! Gonna start playing some of your other missions now.
My only feedback would be to allow a medic as my wounded soldiers would have been saved. Great job! Looking forward to other mission next

Excellent mini mission - Please make more, it's your sort of work that keeps the MOW/GOH community alive.

Look great. I wrote a 60 page analysis of the Battle of La Fiere back in 2017, feel free to forward me any questions if you have any.

Beautiful map, however the mission was a little bit short...

I was super excited to play this but I can’t even start because my whole squad gets wiped in the intro. Also the loading screen seemed jank.

@tomatolord look around the area. If you press the 'C' button it highlights things in red.

I can't go forward in the mod because I have no idea what 'intel or something useful' I'm supposed to find
