Turn 43 German – Elsenborn



More attacks at Elsenborn.

KG A
3rd FJD Bn/3rd PGD unit took on the 2-18th. 2-18th lost 7 men and the enemy lost 17.

KG B
He slid his Assault gun group to the left, possibly due to my move with the 2-18th last turn?

KG C
He withdrew the two battalions from the 12th VGD? Before they left they spotted for some artillery fire on 2-9th/291st Engineers.

KG D
No action but it spotted for probably all the Werfers in the damn area. The 1-16th lost 53 men and gained 29 in fatigue.

KG E
The 277th VGD held its position and was reinforced by a large column of armour of ....the 12th SS. They were supported by the usual ‘ants’ of towed anti tank guns. They rolled up as usual and unlimbered. There was defensive fire but it reported 2 vehicles destroyed with two shots? I assume that they targeted the motorised light flak unit. (it is Disrupted) Anyway a few minutes later and 3 of my M4’s are smoking and the unit panics/Disrupts!
Interestingly the 12th SS infantry unit is also Disrupted? Night disruption?

KG F
A Battalion of the 326th rolled over the bridge at Monschau and spotted for a few rounds of artillery. No men/vehicles lost, just fatigue gained. He then rolled back?

His email to me said he was surprised at lack of opposition at Monschau. Well the units which should have been used to defend Monschau are all lying dead in front of Elsenborn, or hiding in the Hoess Venn!
