Bulge 16.01s alt

[Plain Ian]

In the south he made one very careful assault and pushed back my 11th Tnk Bn entrenched in the woods.

He artillery barraged it 6 times for N/E (no effect) then used his AT guns stacked adjacent. The 75mm took out 1 tank and the 88mm took out the another. On the second last salvo my unit Disrupted. He then attacked with 2 Bns plus Pioneers (probably as close to 1400 stacking max as he could get) and pushed me out with 24men/1 tank losses.

I'm playing with Delayed Disruptions so he did well.

The 11th Tnk Bn fell back onto 419th FA Bn. He now decided to concentrate every artillery piece he had on this unit. All 18 M7's were destroyed. The last 7 were destroyed by salvo's from his Nebelwerfers.....which is why I go after them.

Strange why he did this. I would have stopped after about 5-6? But it shows how powerful the artillery is in the south and that even armour cannot survive in the Clear for long. He has made his point.

My only consolation was that the 11th Tnk Bn was spared and in fact did fire 3 TIMES during defensive fire against his A/T stack killing 1 x88mm and 11 men PLUS Disrupting one of his units! I take back what I said that defensive fire is crap.

At Boevange-sur-Attert I lost 2 armoured cars to some drive by shooting.
