Bulge 16.01s alt

[Plain Ian]

Turn 45 Allied – south



[A] 17th Tank Bn (Dis) falls back sw to Woods hex and allows the Lt Tank Co’s to withdraw from there. There is still a chance that the 212th VGD Fus Bn can assault and throw the tank unit out of there but I will take that chance.
70th Tank Bn (5 tanks) moves to Brouch.

[B] 704th TD Bn moved to Brouch and hopefully to safety. this leaves the two M4 Tank Bns (30+ M4’s each) and the 2-12th to hold the hex. The 2-12th is at 97 Fatigue and I guess he will hit it with all the artillery/werfers he has. So I expect 50-60 men losses next turn.
The 2 small Companys and the heavily fatigued 55th Engineers have been sent to rear.

[C] 51st Arm Inf pulled back and moved south of stream.

[D] Artillery knocked out a Flak gun (vehicle) and the 25th Cavalry took out 5 more.

Artillery casualties shown on map. I’ve spread it around in order to stop him recovering fatigue due to resting.
