On the morning of September 22nd, accompanied by three British tanks, the 506th HQ Company and a platoon of Easy Company loaded up on trucks and headed north towards Arnhem through Koevering and Veghel to Uden.  The rest of Second Battalion dug in at Veghel.  The Germans then attacked Veghel from the east and severed the highway north of town.  This battle, the largest Easy has yet fought in, raged for over 24 hours.

Deployment notes: Your Battalion HQ and the British forces have already been deployed for you.  Place Easy Company's HQ and one platoon in defensive positions in and around Uden.  Place the remainder of Easy Company and D & F Companies in and around Veghel.  Historically, D & F companies spent this day and night in Veghel but you may deploy some of them along the highway north of Veghel if you choose.*
