This map is based on the mp_carentan map, Thanks goes to the creators of that map. I used that as a model  because I hoped it would make a competitve map like Foy. You be the judge. 
Hope you enjoy this map and thanks for checking it out. I didn't add many gametypes because you can
play those on the original.

At dawn on 13 June 1944, the 101st Airborne was about to attack the German line when it was attacked by  tanks and assault guns. Two battalions of the 37th Panzergrenadier Regiment, supported by the 17th Panzer  Battalion and III./FJR6, struck hard at the 501st PIR on the American left, which fell back under heavy  pressure. The left flank companies (Dog and Fox Companies) of the 506th then gave way, and by noon the  spearheads of the German attack were within 500 yards of Carentan. However, Company E of the 506th,  commanded by 1st Lt. Richard D. Winters, anchored its right flank against a railroad embankment and held its  position. Reinforced by the 2nd/502nd PIR taking position on its right, "Easy" Company slowed the German  attack until American tanks could be brought up.

Reacting to an ULTRA warning of the size and threat of the counterattack, Lieutenant General Bradley  diverted CCA U.S. 2nd Armored Division (commanded by Brig. Gen. Maurice Rose and near Isigny sur mer) to  Carentan at 10:30. At 14:00 CCA attacked, supported by the self-propelled howitzers of the 14th Armored  Field Artillery Battalion. One task force of tanks and mechanized infantry surged down the road to Baupte in  the 2nd/506th's area and shattered the main German thrust. A second task force drove back German forces  along the Priers highway, inflicting heavy losses in men and equipment.[14] CCA, followed by the 502nd PIR,  then pushed west a mile beyond the original lines.

The counterattack became known anecdotally among the surviving paratroopers as the "Battle of Bloody Gulch".

Each day of each year we lose more of the brave men and women who fought for this great nation in WW2. Soon  they will all be gone. Take a moment out of your life to Thank a Vet for your freedom.
