Bulge 16.01s alt

[Plain Ian]

Turn 46 Allied - Bastogne



Not much to see. All quiet just artillery and some tactical withdrawls.

I've abandoned Compogne (F/2-424th 106th Div) and also pulled 2-505th back to Bertogne which is garrisoned by another 106th Division unit, the K/3-424th (2 co's).
No point in leaving the Para Bn to be shot up by the whole of 2nd Panzer.
The 504th has also moved to close up on Bertogne.

If things remain quiet I will send the 505th north to La Roche.

I've also pulled back towards Tillet and Magerotte. Again no point sitting in Clear terrain and given his artillery target practise.

501st will need most of the day to rest. The 317th is still waiting all trucked up to see which way it should go, although I did send the 3-317th to occupy Chaumont and support the 2-318th.

The only thing missing from the picture to make it historical would be for the 101st to be sitting inside the German perimeter. Of course if it was, I'm not sure what troops I'd be using to hold the outside of the perimeter with? I think the 101st is better off outside...........
