    Historical Background
    Hotbed of the French Resistance, the "Maquis"of Vercors became one of the largest of its kind in the early months of 1944, with
    countless young French recruits joining up. Resistance camps were established around many villages such as Vassieux, because of its
    geographical configuration and strategic importance.
    By July 14, 1944, the Resistance had completed the airfield - code-named "Taille-Crayon"(Pencil Sharpener) - and just received a drop
    from US flying fortresses when German planes appeared and bombed the village.
    On July 21 at 9:00 AM, French Resistance, working to repair the airfield, were taken by surprise when 20 German planes and gliders came
    flying out of the morning mist. The gliders landed and German troops poured out, making for the houses in the village. The Resistance
    around Vassieux rushed to help their comrades and dislodge the Germans from the buildings, but all attacks through the day failed.
    The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.

    Briefing
    Axis Player: Take 4 command cards
    You move first.
    Allied Player: Take 4 command cards.

    Conditions of Victory
    4 Medals
    When 'Their Finest Hour' command card is played, do not
    reshuffle the command deck. Should the command card deck
    run out of cards and the Allied player has not won, the battle
    ends as an Axis player victory.

    Special Rules
    All the Allied units are French Resistance infantry. Therefore,
    there is no need to place Resistance badges with the units.
    These units only have 3 figures. A Resistance unit may move
    onto terrain and still battle. When retreating, the unit may
    move back 1, 2 or 3 hexes before it regroups.
