After Allied turn 2.

Not getting on the river next to Carentan on the first turn was killer, because both bridges were blown, and I don't have superriver capable engineering anywhere near.

Your situation is looking pretty good overall, despite the blown bridges. You'll be looking for the 1st Army Engineers to get into the marsh hexes most likely.

Pegasus Bridge is very dangerous for you, the forces he has there have a good chance of being able to take the bridge. But, what he has there means it isn't someplace else, so take the opportunity to capitalize on that, first advancing infantry to contact, find the gaps, exploit with armor and use your recon to push as far through any gaps as possible without getting dangerously overexposed.

Getting through Omaha probably isn't going to be easy - keep doing what your doing, as you have a good screen set up. You'll need to make good headway along at least one road, and the road through Trevieres is likely it.

Navy settings - unless you are assigning them to direct support, it is best to leave them on Ignore Losses...at least some of them.

As a turn begins to draw to a close...presuming you get a second round, start digging in some units on the front, putting them to Ignore Losses. Use the Shield and Sword method - dig one in, attack with the other. Have the third battalion in the regiment in a position to help exploit any advance.

While combat is important, maneuver is even more important -- and that concerns more setting up favorable positions for the next turn - for flank attacks, creating pockets, or facilitating deeper advances.

All of your air assets are in reorg which suggests you are pushing them too hard. Bear in mind they have only 40% proficiency - might get better mileage out of them by establishing a rotation - rest one third for a turn or two; use a third for combat support; and the rest on interdiction -- or set them all to interdiction and you'll likely have a greater long-term cumulative effect. Numerous ways to play it though...

Good Job!

Overall you are doing good for Turn 2.
