After recapturing Noville and then Rachamps, Easy Company was pulled off the Ardennes line and sent to Alsace, France.  In Haguenau on the Moder River they relieved the men of the 313th Inf of the 79th Division. The Germans held the North bank of the river and the 506th held the south.  Except for occasional sniping or artillery barrages, an uneasy quiet existed between the two.  Easy was chosen to send a patrol across the river and capture some prisoners from a German OP for questioning.  Everyone not involved with the prisoner "snatch" was to provide covering fire.*

Deploy Easy Company in the areas indicated along the south shore.  Use the rafts provided to move a patrol of 15-20 men across the river and capture (destroy) the German OP.  More rafts will be provided for your escape.  Once the V-hex changes to USA, the Germans will try to recapture it.  Use your artillery and covering fire to keep the Germans from recapturing the OP while your patrol crosses back to your side of the river.  The map provided is not historical.*
