OPORD
I Situation:
We will be playing as the 101st Airborne.
We will be dropping near Eindhoven. Our first objective is to secure all the landing fields. Then we clear the city of Eindhoven and then move on to Son. After Son we will take the 64km road to Nijmegen and secure the bridge. The 82nd Airborne Regiment will land near Nijmegen and we are to help them secure the bridge. Connect with their leading element either on radio or in person when you reach the town of Nijmegen and get your orders from them.
The Irish Guard with their shermans and transport trucks can only move if we clear road D191 (Hell’s Highway). The 30th Corps (XXX Corps) will move with them and resupply and reinforce the rear. We have to make sure the entire road is clear.
Quick note, Shermans can not drive off road. The ground is too muddy and we will get stuck thus losing our Sherman. If you do so you will be counted as lost vehicle and you will have to wait for the full hour to get another one. We only have 2 available until the Irish Guard catches up to us.

Please go ahead and get a tactical planning going. Most of the objectives are laid out but the attack on the city of Son and what to do after we cross the river is open. Also what elements to take, order of movement and how you want to move (do you want infantry to take Willy jeeps?)
