The 2nd Armored Campaign

[Ricky B]

Turn 2:

Dawn is breaking while the 101st Airborne moves west. As the skies lighten, the paratroopers find that the Fallschirmjaegers they are facing are on the move toward them, and the rumored SS forces are supporting them.



As only a small portion of the US forces are free to move at this point, running into advancing Germans could mean trouble. Holding the high ground is important - if the Germans take the hill positions overlooking Carentan, it will become very difficult to deploy the 2nd Armored as the town will be packed with the airborne troops.

This is a small battlefield for what will add up to 2 regiments of US forces, and dominated by the hill/ridge running east-west. Time for the 101st to dig their heels in and slow down the German advance.
