The morning after the night battle where the Americans had to take cover in any and every little cover possible brings more wave of German counterattacks accompanied by their vicious artillery. The intersection that brings paratroopers together to mount an advance to Carentan through highway N13 also attracts the enemy that takes a bitter battle to the Americans. Germans throw everything to stop the Airborne from even setting a foot toward the river Douve, will the sneaking around the right flank help position ourselves better in preparation for the next battle?
