SEIZE AND HOLD (AIRBORNE ASSAULT)

The glider is silent as it descends from Defender's Reserves arrive from here
the sky. Only the flak batteries shoot-
ing at the tug planes can be heard in
the distance. Each member of your
platoon instinctively holds their
breath as the wooden glider drops
lower and lower to the ground that Defender places their Units here
no one can see. Still, the bump and
grinding of a 'soft' landing startles
you and you can't help but think that
the enemy heard it too and you want
to get out of this death trap...

 AIRBORNE ASSAULTS
Airborne landings are always confused and messy, especially so when conducted at night like those on D-Day. Troops are
wildly scattered across the battlefield and neither side knows what's really going on!

AIRBORNE UNITS AIRBORNE RESERVES

Airborne Formations are marked as such at the top of
their Formation HQ Unit Card. All Units in an Airborne
Formation are Airborne Units.
To determine how they land, Airborne Units are classified
into Parachute Units (whose name will start with Parachute)
and Glider Units (all others).
In an Airborne Assault mission, the Attacker may only deploy
Airborne Units on table. All other Units must be in Reserve.
SCATTERED LANDINGS
Before deploying Airborne Units, divide the Attacker's
Deployment Area into quarters numbered from 1 to 4. This
will determine which area each Drop Zone or Landing Zone
marker may be placed in.

PARACHUTE DEPLOYMENT
A Parachute Unit deploys using the Airborne Assault rules
as follows: PARACHUTE DRIFT TABLE
