• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Devildog73,

There is actually a glider mission to Fort Eben-Emael in the Battle of France. It's the only airstart mission in the campaign package; you start in the air being towed by a Junkers Ju-52 transport. :santahat:
 
One thing isn't correct. The Germans didn't capture any bridges around Amsterdam. But the bridges they had proved to be vital. By capturing the bridges in Rotterdam and South of Rotterdam they blocked the recapturing of Waalhaven airfield and stopped the French attempt to connect with the Dutch. The bridges in Maastricht were destroyed by the Dutch before the Germans arrived, however by capturing Eben-Emaul the bridges over the canals in Belgium (just over the Dutch border where captured intact.

The rest is history. The future for the next thousand years was limited to five.....

Cheers,.
Huub
