I played this a LOOOONG time ago, in the original version of Airborne, but I still remember I had a blast playing it. I loved the "recover strength" mechanic for the initially disorganized (demoralized in PG-speak) paratroopers and the piecemeal arrival of the German reinforcements. Things went on for quite a while, but eventually enough of the latter arrived to trap the paratroopers in the vicinity of the bridge. They valiantly held out for as long as they could, but the key hexes fell.

When I first posted this, there was no entry for the original Airborne, so I put it in Airborne IE. Now there is an entry for original Airborne so I deleted the other one and put this one here.
