Inside Surveillance: Carentan
Howdy everyone! Today we're going to give you an inside look at one of our maps: Carentan.
Carentan was one of the most famous engagements the 101st Airborne Division fought in during the invasion of normandy, made quite famous by various World War 2 series and movies. Our take on Carentan is certainly inspired by such depictions and stories told of the battle.
In this post we're gonna take you on a tour of the main areas of the map.
Note that the map is still unfinished, and some areas still lack some touching up.
The first objective is Farm. A small farm surrounded by fields held by the germans. The allies have 3 avenues of attack. The mainroad along the north. The fields to the left of the farm, and the gully to the southeast.
Mainroad.
The Entrance to main road. Here the allies can take a covered route to get to the main road, or engage directly from the dirt road.
The Hay Fields.
Gully.
Farm Courtyard.
The second objective the Allies must capture is the Cow shed on the northwest, while also having to destroy the 88 on the field to the north just across the road from the Cow Shed. The allies can charge up the main road, or push toward the apple orchard right of the road. They also have two side paths to flank around german positions to the far left and the far right.
Far right path.
Apple Orchard.
Main Road.
Far Left Path.
Flak 88 Field.
Cow Shed Area.
After the allies have taken the Cow Shed and destroyed the Flak 88, they can move into the town proper, and fight on the outskirts for control the famous Cafe de Normandie, the Factory Warehouse, and of course, the Pharmacy. The Allies can push through the fields flanking the main road or head through the road on the far right and flank the German Positions.
Main Road.
Cafe de Normandie
Factory Warehouse
Pharmacy
Piano Junction.
After Taking the entrance to the town, the Allies must clear their way to the trainstation, but they'll have to push through the heavily garrisoned Town Hall. From field fighting to close quarters urban combat! The allies must push through the main street, or the two side allies to break into the Town hall and clear it out.
Right alley flank.
Town Hall Plaza.
Town Hall Entrance.
After clearing the German garrison at the Town Hall, the Allies have one last push to make to reach to Train Station. They'll have to push through the main avenue to reach the station, or fight through the abandoned houses and backyards to reach the station. Note that this are is still being worked on.
Main Avenue.
Station Park.
Backyards.
Station Side Access.
Station Entrance.
That's all for today's Inside Surveillance on Carentan! Keep in mind everything's still subject to change, but you can get an early look at what awaits you once you strap up and head feet first into the Battle of Carentan in WWII Online: Chokepoint!
Thank you all for reading, and hope to see you again on the next Inside Surveillance.
See you on the battlefield!
