Many of the Band of Brothers scenarios are "on rails" and lack any meaningful decisions.  In many cases you could just roll 50 opposed die rolls and see who ended up with more 1s and 2s to declare them the winner.  The maneuver part of that game is lacking in MANY scenarios, the command decisions you make are important but rarely affect the overall outcomes, and there are no "meeting engagement" scenarios so someone's entrenched, stays where they are for the most part and the attacker has such a limited front and line of advance that there's nothing more than moving and praying the defender rolls poorly.  That's not much of a game.
