Brave But Futile

[Hugmenot]

Turn 01 - Battle 1 (Carentan)

With 4 maps and only 2 non-activated batallions, I thought I had no chance to win this battle. Consequently, I put all my units in one town hoping to minimize my losses.

The American High Command was not happy with my decision and assigned me la crème de la crème to lead my troops.

Batailion leaders on top, support company leaders on the bottom
   

My setup, The different orientation is to differentiate the bataillion or support company the unit belongs to.
   

I could not move until activated so, after a few turns, this is what I saw:

Enemies to the north
   

Enemies to the south
   

There were also enemies to the west but I forgot to take a picture.

With the result never in doubt, the Germans attacked cautiously trying to eliminate more Americans than they would suffer casualties. It worked.
