Turn 4 [18:02] They...they can't stop us all!
Turn 5 [21:04] The artillery can't adjust soon enough, is that German scout caught unawares?

Review [1:12:17] It's night, it's cold, it's wet, and we're in a conundrum
The battle for Carentan now rages on, with the US using the numbers to try to overwhelm whatever they come across, but it seems the Germans have other ideas on how to counter our advance, not the least of which the occult town of Carentan going Poltergeist and having allergic reaction to Americans inside its buildings.
