Turn 41 Allied – SPA

Since I’m talking about this area I might as well show map of my moves here.



I’ve fallen back with my armour (E) and left my infantry (F) to weather a turn of King Tiger fire.

I still have reserves of 3rd AD in this area ( C ) and I moved some units (A) closer to SPA to put them within command range. (you can see units have orange labels) Unfortunately Einheits have disrupted this move!!! They are also active at La Geize as well. Grrr.

I’ve also withdrawn the 814th TD Bn (B) from this area and will send it south.....if it can get there. This unit belongs to 7th AD and it is well out with its command range. I think a test is done at midnight to check for Low Fuel so best if it sets out now.

I’ve pulled the M5 Lt Tank Co back into woods and brought the Engineer unit (30th Div) up from La Gleize. (G) The Engineers are a B rated unit and I may need them at Spa.

Lastly I peppered both enemy hexes with artillery. Heavy artillery (155mm) killed a tank from the Peiper group and 19 men from 3rd FJD plus 4 men from the 7th Army Pioneer group.

I’ve also added the supply route for Peiper. If weather turns bad I may try to advance. The Paras are top grade units which would have been a better choice for defending SPA from the south but they will be ideal for a sortie south.........
