CHERBOURG
A difficult scenario to make interesting because the Germans were so weak. The main interest in this scenario is the Fort du Roule, which was a multi-level beast of a structure. The US soldiers were able to take out the top level but took ages to get to the big guns on the lower levels. Due to its position on a hill commanding most of Cherbourg it continued to be an issue for a long time after it was initially attacked. This can't easily be replicated in PzC so I created a custom unit for the fort and made it fairly tough. Engineers will still be able to knock it out more easily than in reality.
The city and port of Cherbourg are done on a large scale with prestige bonuses for the hospital (rescuing US POWs) and finding the German commander huddled in a cellar!
Some naval action comes later with the arrival of USSs Nevada, Texas and Arkansas.
A fairly easy scenario with the time limit the only real problem for a DV.
