I guess most people looking at this will be saying..."where are all the Germans?". Or "are the Americans fighting invisible Germans?"

Not a lot to see apart from at Bastonge and in the far south. Between these two points both sides have been happy to leave things quiet, mainly because we both probably did not have many troops to commit here or were not keen to commit and then not be able to disengage.

With the arrival of 80th Division I thought I could use these troops to fill in this gap. I also hoped to ensure that the road north from Attert could be secured all the way up to Martelange. Thus shortening the current route which has to go via Neufchateau/Recogne. (See Blue route on map)

However, as has happened in the north I am now having second thoughts and may have to use some of these troops as I'm not sure the 4th Armoured alone can stop the Germans.

In the meantime the 501st which I've finally maged to get released from Attert has arrived south of Martelange and may do the job here.

Other points to note -

28th Div recovering at Recogne
9th Arm Div (CCB/CCR) recovering at St Hubert.
82nd/101st still frightening away 2nd Panzer and friends.

Night.
