The scenario: 12th June 1944. Outskirts of Carentan, Normandy. For six days Airborne troopers have been battering their way through Normandy. A forward rest and re-organisation area has been set up where the mis-dropped troopers can find their respective units. A crew of medics has arrived in their Dodge Ambulance and set up an aid station in an abandoned bunker.

Supplies, landed at 'Utah' beach, are now arriving in the form of the three jeeps and a GMC truck full of rations and ammunition. Guarding the area is a .30 cal machinegun emplacement, a 60mm mortar and a M1A1 bazooka is ready to deal with any German tanks that come looking for trouble. Along with the troopers of the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions streaming through, elements of the 4th Infantry from Utah beach are arriving and a small group of rangers has fought their way here from Pointe du Hoc.

An M8 of the 2nd AD awaits entry into the battle	Backing up the M8 is an M3 halftrack	Three of the groups vehicles, a Dodge ambulance and two jeeps	A tranquil area, but not for long...


Cpl. Kane and T3 'TwoSheds' take a break from the fighting	Still slumming it. Notice the wire cutter on the jeep	Do these guys ever do anything?	Cpl Kane is now falling asleep..
