Overview:

Lieutenant Winters and Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th PIR were advancing into Carentan when the rear-guard elements of Colonel von der Heydte’s 6th Parachute Regiment opened fire. Easy, with the help of Fox Company, was able to silence the rear guard and their machine gun.

2021-04-21(A) wayne baumber vs Graham Smith American winGood scenario. US Paras v SS. Lots of tanks, in our scenario the US gained the upper hand early on and never looked like not losing however I suspect other plays will be closer.
2015-05-30(D) Tuomo Lukkari vs Tommi Kangasmaa American win[Imported from ROAR]
2014-01-11(D) Robert Zinselmeyer vs Brett Avants German (SS) win
2013-11-22(A) Richard Carter vs Dave Wardzala German (SS) winThe US took two bldgs w/ ease but couldn't get one more. It's difficult for US but I don't think impossible. I might have taken a different approach if I played it again.
2007-11-07(D) Aaron Sibley vs Carl Sizmur American win
