Description

Normandy, June 6, 1944.

On the eve of the invasion, Ally paratroopers are dropped behind German lines to secure key road junctions, and bridges.

Your team is tasked with securing a bridge just south of Cerisy La Salle, and holding it until reinforcements can relieve you.

You will jump into the dropzone south of your target, move to the bridge area, and neutralize the enemy fortified positions, and secure the bridge.

Single Player Mission

No mods required, Spearhead 1944 CDLC is required

Mission play time is about 45 minutes

This Mission uses the Normandy map from the CDLC, so the location for the mission is not historically accurate.

Make sure you have subtitles turned on in you game settings.

Your position will not be shown on the map in this mission, you will be required to navigate overland in low visibility, so this mission may not be for everyone.

Hi, someone else Hi! Has anyone else experienced that their teammates (who you find near where you drop) get stuck a few meters before reaching the first line of trenches that need to be cleared? After that, Notre Dam is supposed to be full of enemies, but I passed through there and only saw flies. Just a question: while you finish meeting up with your teammates and reach the Drop Zone, can you find more teammates? Or even after passing through there? Thanks.
P.S.: The mission setting and the patrols make it hard to forget it's a game!

No plans to update this mission. However, I will be releasing a new mission that is similar to this one, but you play as a German paratrooper. The mission should be released within a few hours, if you're interested.

This was fantastic! Would love an update to this to use the new Paratrooper uniforms and carbine, gotta check out your other work now

@Mallekip

Thanks for the detailed feedback, if I remember correctly, you given detailed feedback on some of my other missions.

I'm glad you liked it, I was trying to give people a mission that would deliver the feeling of all those past paratrooper movies/games that we're all familiar with, but with my own Arma flavor.

I'm working on a German paratrooper mission with a similar atmosphere, it should be out by this weekend.

This was a really great mission. Reallly got a "Band of Brothers" impression. Briefing and intro were fantastic. Difficulty was not high, which was nice for a change. It plays like a mission from the old Call of Duty 2 game, before it got very over-the-top cinematic.

The night, fog, and soundscape make you appreciate your nearby surroundings more. It's a great way to enjoy the map up close. Danger appears everywhere. The mission also performs well: no frame rate drops.

A criticism: the fact that my character started 2.5 kilometers from the drop zone, made the walk very, very long. The ambient audio got on my ears, and I sped the game 4x up to reach the object. This still took 10 minutes of holding down SHIFT + W.

Got to steal an MG34, which along with copious grenades, allowed me to storm the trenches like an Inglourious Basterd. Full marks for this. Also nice to have multiple parts to the mission.

Small bug: I never managed to complete the first task, which led the mission insisting I complete it, after repelling the attack. Perhaps add a BIS_fnc_taskSetState "CANCELED" for this. Also multple typos in the briefing text, animated briefing, and the character text in the intro. But these are tiny details compared to this seamless, cinematic, super enjoyable mission! I recommend everyone plays it!
