The 2nd Armored Campaign

[Ricky B]

As the sun continues to rise, the 101st Airborne units find themselves the target of a massive attack. Some units are already cutoff and in danger of complete destruction.

The German forces, including a large SS contingent with large numbers of StuGs in support, are moving forward extremely aggressively. Unfortunately for the elite airborne forces, they are both outnumbered and out of position to fight effectively. However, as can be seen in the image, once the Germans advance just a short distance on my right flank, they will hold the dominating ground there and it will make it nearly impossibly to hold the rest of the hill overlooking Carentan itself.

The isolated units pull back, but the other units are ordered to do their best to delay the German advance.

This battle shows how the selections by each player in the campaign engine can result in a scenario being selected that will play very differently from what was expected, or what other choices may result in.
