New Guinea -* 
September 5, 1943*
*
The first major Allied parachute jump in the Pacific is underway. The 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment, supported by "jump-volunteer" Australians of the 2/4 Field Artillery Regiment and their 25 pounders, are to drop on, size and hold the abandoned Nadzab airstrip.*
* 
The Australian 9. Division has started it's attack on Lae along the coast, but another route of attack has been planned. Additional Australian troops are to be flown into the Markham valley and thus completely envelope Lae. Success of this second route however rests on the ability of the 503d to secure Nadzab.*
*
You are a company commander in the 3rd Bn, 503d. The mission of your battalion is to jump east of the Nadzab airfield and provide flank protection for the Battalion jumping on the actual airfield.*
*
Your company is responsible for capturing the village of Gabmatzung. You will parachute in close to the village and capture it so you need to buy air transports for your troops with the support points issued.* 
*
Enemy presence in the area is believed to be light.*

Good luck, and good hunting!**
