Following the collapse of Market Garden, hundreds of trapped British paratroopers aided by the Dutch resistance managed to make their way back through enemy lines to the safety of Allied controlled areas.  While stationed on the "Island", a strip of land along the southern shore of the lower Rhine, Easy Company played a vital role in one such rescue operation.*

British Major Allison Digby Tatham-Warter organized a large band of surviving paratroopers, Dutch Resistance fighters and a downed US air crew and with the aid of civilian Dutch "guides" worked their way to the Lower Rhine near the town of Renkum, across the river from the US 101st Airborne.  Using the still operating civil telephone system, he contacted the American paratroopers and coordinated their assistance in crossing.  Along with British Engineers, a patrol from E Company was selected to cross the river at night and bring Tatham-Warter's escapees to freedom.*

IMPORTANT:  This scenario is different than most.  Deploy Easy Company in the area marked along the south shore.  Use the two rafts to take a small detachment across the river and secure the area around "Point Digby".  More boats will be provided to pick up the British Paras.  Cross these boats to the shoreline around Pt Digby.   Carefully move the Dutch and British paras towards Point Digby avoiding contact with the Germans. Your Brits are HIGH VALUE, more valuable than the V-hexes.  Evacuate them to the south shore without being detected.  In a perfect game, you can complete this scenario without firing a shot.  It can be done.  Tactical hints:  Once you are "seen" or capture any V-hex, the Germans will know where you are and they will react.  Also remember, small units are hard to see.*
