High Losses in N44 (Carentan Scenario)

[PenCapChew]

Hello. I was wondering why losses generally in N44 (in particular the Carentan scenario) are really high. For example, I played the stock campaign and Volcano's man version of Carentan. Here is a comparision of losses on the first turn:

Stock Version:
Turn 1
Axis Losses: 89
Allied Losses: 225 (axis artillery caused a whopping 51 men losses from this total amount!!)

Volcano's Man Alt version
Turn 1
Axis Losses: 59
Allied Losses: 43


To further illustrate the point, here is the tally after turn 3 (Stock Campaign)

Axis: 624
Allied: 1106


I was doing some research to find actual 101st AB losses at this particular point in the campaign and wasn't able to find concrete data on casualties. As it stands in the stock campaign, the 101st after turn 3 is near combat ineffective. Most of the companies are decimated or half strength. My question is, is this a facet of game design for N44? Other PzC games(even at company level) I have played don't seem to have such a high loss ratio. I was wondering if this was designed on purpose (perhaps historical effect..etc). Volcano's man version has significantly less losses, which allows the 101st in this scenario to seem to hold on much longer. Any opinions or comments on this issue are greatly appreciated.
