East of Carentan: June 14th, 1944 (Scenario Size: Brigade. Head to Head or Human vs AI for either side) In this hypothetical battle, the German counterattack on Carentan on June 13th is assumed to have succeeded and the important crossroads has fallen into the hands of the Germans, once again blocking communications between the Utah and Omaha bridgeheads. Carentan must be cleared by the US forces to enable the advance from Utah to continue, and provide security to the flanks for both bridgeheads by securing their junction.

This is honestly one of the less fun scenario. Axis has a lot of trenches, high quality troops and guns. Allies only have a bit more armored vehicles and no room to maneuver, resulting in a slaughter for the allies. Huge part of allies forces are fatigued and low strength infantry, which can do nothing against well entrenched SS infantry. Only advantage allies have is good artillery, and even then it isn't useful against fortified troops. Any player who has some experience in defense will easily be able to attend a victory, or major victory as axis.

Overall one of my least favorite scenarios of PBN, no space to maneuver or initiate tactics, and one sided composition.
