Thanks guys for the comments!
We really enjoyed the game, though the Americans had some trouble advancing into the town.

We used Rules of Engagement.  For game balance, as the Germans are defending in hard cover, I would suggest a 2:1 advantage in troops for the US side.  Otherwise, the Yanks won't stand a chance.

The Fallschirmjaeger were painted by Tom Weiss.  The Yanks in the parking lot are by Zoogla and the Yanks in front of the Carentan sign are mine.

Looking at the pics again, I think the streets are too clean.  I'll have to put some rubble on them to make them look more cluttered and realistic.

The piano - everyone knows there is a piano in the middle of the street in Carentan!! It's probably their most famous tourist sight!!  :lol:
