I noticed in the June 19-30 campaign that the 2nd Panzer's tanks are still not on the frontline, and only arrive later in the day on the 19th. Assuming this translates into the grand campaign, maybe it would be better to have it replace the 12th SS or 21st panzer, so that either of those 2 divisions can be sent to help shore up Lehr's flanks? Corp Attachments may make it a little tricky for a bit.

Yes, that is probably a good spot for the 2nd Panzer, although you are correct that their tanks don't arrive for some time, so that is an issue. The other place I was thinking was on the left flank of the 17th SS Pzgr division, which is the western coastline of the Cherbourg peninsula. The terrain here is quite open along the beach and I can almost imagine an attack down this thin open area which would unravel the entire defensive line and bypass the bocage.

Ah, that definitely could be a lynch pin in the defense! Would you rotate the 17th SS towards Carentan/2nd US armored's flank? 

It is a narrow causeway, you could just bluff a good defense with a few tank elements of either the 17th SS or 2nd Panzer?
