What about something along the lines of the Bruneval Raid, Operation Biting. A German radar installation in Bruneval, France that occurred between 27–28 February 1942. An airborne assault, followed by sea-borne evacuation would be the ideal way to surprise the garrison of the installation and seize the technology intact, as well as minimise casualties inflicted on the raiding force.

This Game would start durning the night, say about about 2300 or so, and continue into the daylight hours.

The Germans, just occupy a small static garrison at a Vital Point, with some form of Tech, or a PW Snatch, (as some silly Rupert got put in the bag, and he has vital sensitive knowledge). They main German Garrison is some distance away, and not activated until the balloon goes up.

The Allies are Jumped in to the LZ/DZ. They re-organize at the RV, and push off to perform the Raid. They must neutralize the defenders of the VP, secure the area, and capture the documents and/or tech. Take pictures of it as well. They then must exfiltrate the objective to a predetermined location to meet up with their extraction method, be it trucks, landing craft, or to a Maquis/Resistance safe area.

The Germans have left 5 to 6 men in an organized defence at the VP. As the War in Europe as not started yet. They have not considered that an Allied Raiding Party would strike this area. So they have yet to impliment full defence procedures and positions. They have left this section element at the VP, and on a frequent basis a 2 man sentry team checks in with them.

The Main Garrison, is quartered in several houses, some distance away. They also maintain a small nightly picket, and do not regularly become active at night. They must maintain for the purposes of the game only a 2 man Mobile Sentry between them and the VP, a 2 man picket at their Housing, and another 2 man Sentry at a nearby crossroads. They may not be deployed in defence of the VP until the Sentries are missing and out of contact for longer than 20 minutes. They have been alerted by the VP via Field Phone that they are under attack. OR They have noticed the sounds of active battle, or attacked themselves.

The Germans are aware that there is a Maquis/Resistance presence in the area, but have been unable to establish their numbers, location or taskings. For this this have established some roadblock sentries by day and night. All Identity cards are checked, anyone carrying weapons are arrested on sight.

The Maquis/Resistance are active in the area, but do not use the roads at night, when carrying arms due to the martial law and curfews imposed. They have been alerted that they may need to assist "Henry, the man with Purple Shoes", if he comes calling. They are in radio contact with SOE, and have not been told, what exactly that means. Lately due to increased German patrolling by day, and some radio DF vans in the area, they have been laying low. For the past several months, they have been restricted by the Germans in getting near the VP, as to recce it. Mainly due to their own curiosity, and not on the direction of SOE. It is possible that SOE, may after they have been informed of the sucessful capture and on going exfiltration, pass a coded phrase to the Maquis, to put in an attack on the German Garrison. They know that if they hear "The cupboard is empty" passed over the radio, that is a message to put in an attack. Otherwise, they will stay passive unless actively attacked by the German Forces.
