WEST BEACH
Sgt. Russ moves up the beach folowing the route the frogmen have opend up for him,this puts his force (now split and heading in two directions) at either end of West beach,inadvertantly avoiding both sentries who are now at there meet point in the middle of the beach(a temporary blessing for them).
WEST BEACH
Commando`s move in to destroy the block house and gun position
Sgt Spike: 15 man squad. East Beach assault to silence the marked sentry position and destroy with satchel charges block houses and gun bunkers marked 1, 2, & 3.

When occupants have been silenced, move toward harbour and house immediately behind gun bunker 3 and hold defensive position in area until embarkation is signaled.
EAST BEACH
The local ressistance had taken out the harbour entrance guard and flak crew at the end of the jetty and signalled the boats with the all clear/safe to enter.
EAST BEACH
SGT SPIKE takes out the sentries on the beach (anything but a 10 on a ten sided dice)and swiftly moves into the trench system and starts laying charges.
EAST BEACH
One last sentry is dealt with in the gun bunker (this pair are inside)but no charges are laid in this one yet.
EAST BEACH
Charges one turn later are thrown for and both sucssesfully detonate destroying the Gun Blockhouse and the Observation bunker,now the game is afoot as the whole town is now alerted to the commando`s presence.
Sgt Ian: 10 man squad. Disembark from MTB in harbour and assault towards Gun Position and Pill Box marked 10 & 11 resectively. Destroy the pill box (which also contains the controls for the swing bridge) with satchel charges to ensure that German MTB is trapped behind closed swing bridge. Remainder of squad is to move simultainiously toward the buildings marked 14 (Kriegsmarine barracks) and silence occupants. When successfully completed, link up with the West beach assault force and hold a defensive perimiter in the area until embarkation is signaled.
GUN POSITION/PILL BOX
In addition to a 6 man HQ section, I will command a 10 man squad and disembark from MTB in the harbour and assault the Town Garrison HQ at position marked 13. Silence the occupants, destroy communications equipment and records thought to be compromising to the local resistance forces. When I have completed my mission AND have seen two GREEN flares I will signal the embarkation with a SINGLE RED flare.
Sgt Dave: 10 man squad. Disembark from MTB in harbour and move towards the school house / town garrison barracks marked 12 and silence occupants. When successfully completed, link up with the East beach assault force and move toward the harbour to hold a defensive perimiter in the area until embarkation is signaled.
WEST BEACH
Sgt. Russ has set his charge in the block house but not until one turn after the East Beach charges have gone off , the Block House is a hive of noise as the Germans move into action,first man through the door almost trips over the charge and the second man picks it up and throws it,dice roll puts it on the same side as the Commando`s ........oops!..............BOOM ...........wether its the type of charge or the sand , either way the effect isnt as bad as expected and leaves one commando suppressed but another with a serious wound.
GUN POSITION/PILL BOX
Sgt Iain has no time to waste,due to the timings of the first charges going off the Germans are now being activated all over the town.First two comando`s throw grenades into the Anti Aircraft Flak gun pit while two more lay the (first) charge outside the Pill Box/Bridge Control
GUN POSITION/PILL BOX
Sgt Iain watches in dissmay as the Pill Box charge fizzes but doesnt go off!!
GUN POSITION/PILL BOX

WEST BEACH
The Germans from the block house are split in two , some dont get past the door as the commando`s drop onto them in hand to hand but others reach the rear gun bunker door, before it can be opend Sgt Russ and his radio operator seeze the initiative and jump them.
Totally unexpected both are killed in hand to hand.!!!!
