Turn 43 German – Bastogne



Bastogne area was quiet again. Artillery ruined the 2-501st sleep (10 men killed) then to add insult the 3 FBB units made 3 attacks without reply and killed a further 33 men! Just to finish things off when the replay finished I was very amazed to see the 2-501st go Low Ammo!!! It didn't fire back for gods sake so how could it go Low Ammo!!!

Its a B unit within command range of its Regt HQ, which is within command range of its Divisional HQ, and thats within range of VII Corps HQ? What more can you do???
Well after that attack I might just advance the 3-501st to see if he has a unit behind his 3 advanced units on the rail line. If he doesn’t they will be cut off.

With 501st back in the north after its trip down to XII Corps, I was going to start moving 318th Rgt/80th Division (VIII Corps) further south. Will check command ranges and see if I can start to push it east or north east.
Patrols from Flamierge show a mixed picket force of tanks and infantry, probably from FBB. (A)
Patrols from the 106th (B) show that the Panthers from 2nd Panzer are still there.
