On November 8 1942, 556 American parativopers landed in Oran, Algeria. Most forces landed off-course and were subsequently captured. Deep behind enemy lines, a British force attempts a daring rescue.

- It appeared that the British have a harder time of it. They have to move quickly to win the scenario, and the Germans are merciless.
- Even without a Hidden Minefield card being played on the exit hex, there's little hope for the Allies here. 5 rounds is only just enough time to reach the paras and escape off the board, any successful suppressive fire and it's all over.
- The Brits don't stand a chance. I think the scenario might need a bit of tweaking.
- I highly recommend to remove from a desert deck a "Hidden Minefield" card. If German player gets it it's auto win for him (placing minefield on blue-shaded hex will delay an american squad and there will be no chance to escape before 5th round end).
The objective for German Player should be "by the end of round 5." instead of " by the end of round 7."
(Sorry if 1A/FFG have modified by errata or any kind of information.)
The round of this scenario by FFG is 5 while by 1A is 7.

The enemy must be annihilated before he reaches our main battlefield. We must stop him in the water, destroying all his equipment while it is still afloat! (April 22nd, 1944)
