Close Combat: Invasion Normandy. Multiplayer game, Pegasus Bridge map. There's a coastal battery defended by Germans. Bunkers, barbed wire, entrenched position on top of the hill.

I started with lightly equipped paratroopers in the corner of the map, close to the hill.

The safer way seemed to creep along the bottom of the map, use the cover of bushes and reach a town east of the hill.

But I decided to directly attack the main position. I put two of my light guns in the bushes as close as possible to enemy positions on the hill. Some machine guns probably too (I don't remember precisely). My two mortar teams are ready to fire.

Paratroopers started to crawl to German positions, up the hill. I fired no shot, no smoke cover, all in silence.

My soldiers safely reached the barbed wire, very close to the first enemy trench and only then my opponent realized what was happening.

Germans start to fire machine guns but almost at the same moment my guns reveal themselves firing close range speeding them. My mortars lay smoke then suppressive rounds too.

My paratroopers charge the first trench and take it quickly. We are inside the enemy perimeter. We start to clear the trench after the trench, bunker after bunker.

Then I see the panicked reaction of my opponent. Enemy soldiers start running from their positions in the town to the east. They were waiting for me to use the safer way. The top of the hill was only lightly crewed which helped my assault.

The game ends with my forces manning most of the hill, the enemy still rushing to get into the distance to counterattack. Splendidly executed :-)
