cool: As you said, since the US 2 and 5 Ranger Battalioms objectives were to destroy the guns on the cliff (to silence the German coastal battery), and there turned out to have no guns in place, I think that your objective should be 1. to secure the cliff top. and, if you want to go further, 2. to destroy the unmanned guns away from the direct cliff surface. If you want to make it even harder, you can have it that the commander of the 2 and 5 battalions, Colonel James Rudder, has to survive whatever you make your objective (be it secure the cliff-top, or that and destroy the guns that are further inland) and you accomplish your mission. If he dies, then you have failed your mission. In real life, he DID survive the assault, so that objective would be appropriate if you choose to do it. If you could, I would go along with all this, objectives that include securing the cliff-edge and surface, destroying the unmanned guns by setting explosives on them, and having Col. Rudder survive the conflict himself.
Also, if you can, it would be cool if the Germans could cut the Rangers ropes as they climbed, or if Rangers fell from slipping while climbing. It would also be cool if, once on the cliff-edge, heavy barrages came from German artillery inland, and are programmed to retreat to underground tunnels, part of their real-life fortress, when things get hairy, and to come back out when they resummon the courage to, at some protected place to fire from. Oh yea, and last but not least, another real-life objective was too destroy an anti-aircraft emplacement, which inflicted considerable damage on the Rangers.
