Sainte-Mère-Église

• Western Front · Normandy
• Difficulty: 2 · Moderate
• 4 medals to win

In the first hours of D-Day, paratroopers of the U.S. 82nd Airborne dropped around Sainte-Mère-Église to seize the town and block German reinforcements from reaching Utah Beach. The scattered landing turned the fight into a fast, unpredictable struggle.

Strategy tips

• Allies: Check your command cards before the opening paradrop, then reinforce the section where you can build overwhelming force.
• Axis: Absorb the surprise attack, bring your armor forward, and press the section the Allied paradrop left weakest.
