Normandy '44 AAR

What makes the Allied advance from Hill 30 dangerous? Is the quality of the German units they are facing or is the terrain unfavorable? Thanks!

It's basically the very high quality of the 82nd and 101st Airborne units. That, coupled with Allied artillery, means that I cannot stop them and it would only be a matter of time before they cut across the base of the Cherbourg peninsula, thereby trapping any German units north of a line running roughly south-west from Hill 30. So rather than let that happen, I've pulled back to my new defensive line. That said, it is also more favourable terrain further south, where the bocage starts. Around Carentan and Hill 30 was mostly fields, which is not great for defence.
