You control Carentan and have successfully linked forces with elements advancing from Omaha Beach.  Well Done, the beach-heads are secure.  But the Germans are counter-attacking from the south and the link up is seriously threatened.*
*
Historical note:  On the night of 12-13 June, the US forces in Carentan reported seeing 150 Germans re-entering the town. That message became garbled and was understood by General Bradley as reading "150 German Tanks" were re-entering Carentan.  He dispatched a company of Shermans, a company of light tanks and a battalion of armored infantry to repel the counterattack which in reality had not yet even started.*
*
Deploy Easy Company on and along the railroad embankment south of Carentan and west of the Taute River.  It's up to you to keep the Germans of the 17th SS PzGr Division out of Carentan until reinforcements from the 2nd Armored Division arrive.*
