Normandy '44 AAR

[Indragnir]

Maybe it's time to move most of 17SS-PzGr Div to Carentan. Your line across the river should hold if 4th and 9th are around Carentan (and the paras at Cherbourg)

Yeah, I tend to agree with you. The only problem is that those other units holding the line along the peninsula are pretty terrible - mostly E and F morale - and are pretty beat up too from trying to slow down the 101st and 82nd. I'm not sure that line would hold long without the 17th SS to add some steel.

You should have some C/B troops (Sturm btl, MG btl 17, some LL-Div, 77th ID) able to guard the crossing points. Allied have limited crossing capacities. Also with alternative assault resoltion even D quality armor (along with some infantry) parked near the bridges could hold back Paras.
If the Carentan area wouldn't hold, he will cut all the western line. Since you know where his main untis are, you can take some risk while balancing the fronts.
