German Turn 38 - Elsenborn close up



823TD Bn lost 4 tanks from the 75mm guns which unlimbered and fired without any reaction from units again.......WW2 stealth units.

254th lost 47 men to artillery and 77 men to ground fire. Engineers in Clear is like waiving a red flag in front of a bull to my oppo.

3-16th lost 80 men to fire then was assaulted losing a further 19 men....but hey look on the bright side I did take out a tank and 5 men.

1-18th sat under a hail of artillery/werfer fire and lost 45 men.

2-39th 25 men to artillery and 34 men to ground fire.

I lost 10 of those Regimental 105mm guns (Cannon/47th wiped out and cannon/9th lost 4) because they were left sitting in front line. (where 3-47th is) I didn't think it was worth limbering up and trying to move......I ALWAYS GET OPPORTUNITY FIRE when I try this.

I can't remember his losses much but his total losses for the turn were 89 men and 3 vehicles so it wasn't spectacular shooting......

I've got 3 good units in line 1-18th, 3-47th 1-18th which will have to hold for a turn or two. 1-18th and 3-47th are in Clear terrain....ugh pefect Werfer terrain. Guarenteed to lose 10 men per salvo. I have the 2-18th as well but I may need that as a good block on the Verviers road.

No sign of any obvious Werfer units revealed. I see a spotted SS unit which I take to be a SPG unit.

Its like shooting fish in a barrel for him. If anyone can see what I should be doing better here then please chime in......a white flag seems to best option.
