Yes, guns are good.

"Déjà Vu" (Part 1/2)
Mission
Retake the town. In particular, seize the church and the eastern exit.
Destroy the German forces in the town.
Desired endstate: no Germans left in town, and our company prepared to re-orient
ourselves and figure out how to get into Sainte-Mère-Èglise.
Friendly Forces
The entirety of C Company is on hand.
Enemy Forces
It is likely that enemy forces in the village are mostly infantry.
However, now that the invasion has begun in earnest, all guarantees are off.
I start this one by purely scouting with the 1st Platoon.
The immediate area to the front looks clear, so 3rd Platoon starts to scout out
the right flank.
3rd Platoon begins to take fire from the church, but it seems to be only a small
group of Germans in there.
Small group of easily scared Germans.
2nd Platoon start their advance along the right side of the street. Their goal
is to secure the church and get troops up that tower.
A German MG42 team opens up on Jenkins' 1/2, no casualties however.
Need to get a mortar team to take care of that.
1/2 assaults the church, which appears to be abandoned.
Meanwhile, 1st Platoon punches a hole through the hedges. They should be able
to give good covering fire from inside of those buildings.
