Turn 41 German – South Overview Map



Here’s a quick planning map.

80th Div spread out to north and assigned to VIII Corps. Plan was to send it Neufchateau but because of enemy inactivity I had decided to set up a forward defensive line from Bercheux to Martelange.

501st Para Rgt also moving north but 1 Bn still stuck down at Attert.

4th Armd Div just about committed to battle in the south. Because of the lack of heavy bridges on the R. Attertit from Redange to Boevange is difficult for the 4th Armoured units (tracked) to move easily north of the river. Road network is also poor.

5th FJD positions and 276th VGD position is guesswork.

Edit III Corps HQ arrives tomorrow morning 6am 21st Dec (Turn 46?) but next sizeable reinforcement is the 26th Inf Div 12 noon on 21st Dec. (Turn 49?)
