German Turn 38 South



Last map. Not much happened here....except he sneaked in over the river. 2 Panzer Lehr Bns? 55th Armd Eng Bn received some artillery and Disrupted. A small forced has also turned up at Boevange-sur-Attert, but parked up this time. Its a Heavy Bridge crossing but since he's over there is little point in contesting?

I could have possibly delayed his river crossing by positioning the 55th a hex closer. But its a woose unit anyway and ALWAYS seems to Disrupt easily. It spent most of the 19th recovering from 250+ Fatigue only to Disrupt at first fight. Its Fatigue 99 and Morale D at moment....which means useless.

No sign of any enemy from the Mersch region although I suspect there is a sizeable force out there?

Plans haven't changed, I will fall back again in the east and set up a defense in the woods to slow him down. Feel better about this front as I have a Regiment of the 80th nearby and its tank units. Not the best unit as its Morale C except for the tank unit which is a D. D tanks are no use on defense as they will always Disrupt on first fire, and are just target practice for panzers. . Only way to use them is on your turn, move up fire and run away hoping the defensive fire doesn't kick in.

The really good news is that 4th Armoured arrived at last. The bad news is that its going to take a few turns to get here.
