From BoardGameGeek

Drop Zone: Chef-du-Pont (DZ: CdP) is a Historical Advanced Squad Leader (HASL) module covering the first three days of the battles around the important Norman bridge at Chef-du-Pont and the heights of Hill 30. Itis the second in a series exploring Airborne operations on D-Day and shortly thereafter in Normandy as part of Operation OVERLORD. It focuses on the key actions to control the bridge across the Merderet River just west of the French village of Chef-du-Pont, whose capture was assigned to the 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR). Matched against the Americans were the German infantry of Grenadier-Regiment 1057, Luftlande-Infanterie-Division 91, assisted at times by the re-purposed French armor of Panzer-Ersatz-Abteilung 100. Drop Zone: Chef-du-Pont comes with an historically accurate map of the town of Chef-du-Pont and its surrounding environs jointly crafted by designer Ken Dunn and artist Charlie Kibler. There are six individual scenarios each recreating a portion of the battle, as well as a Campaign Game of the full three-day battle. DZ: CdP follows in the footsteps of the successful DROP-ZONE: SAINTE-MÉRE-ÈGLISE (which is not required to play DZ: CdP), but it is a much different experience. It is much more compact, with only one mapsheet, one simplified Campaign Game, and no new counters (and no cows). It requires no box and is much easier to access. Slope rules (from earlier HASL modules) are introduced, but their use is limited, and a comprehensive LOS Example of how slopes interact with bocage on the historical map is included. The only other ASL modules needed to play are BEYOND VALOR and YANKS. -description from the publisher HASL Module 14
