Turn 46 Allied - La Roche - Rarmont



Pretty quiet. The main action was at Rarmont, the 17th/40th Tank Bn's against his VGD Bn. I've very little artillery coverage in this area. I then pulled the 48th Arm'd Inf Bn back.

La Roche is now garrisoned with an Engineer Bn plus a Para bn of the 505th. I've pulled back the 35th Engineers on Nadrin road. The bridge was blown several days ago. This will slow him down a bit so no need to lose Engineers making delaying actions. I also moved up the 82nd AAA unit but thats pretty silly and I'll move it away.
He won't come down the Nadrin road with much as moving on secondary roads in Mud is like treacle. He must be coming down the Primary road from Samree.

Samree has been garrisoned by the Cav just now. The 333rd couldn't reach it. The 333rd Bn's are just over 600 men each so I can get two stacked there plus one to watch Dochamps and enemy activity from the Grandmenil area.

At Grandmenil I have the 335th deployed.

I guess that that is me more or less set in this area. Only tactical reserves will come from any Engineers I can find, a few Batallions from the 505th (82nd) and the 84th's Tank Destroyer Bn (638th) which is sitting back on the Aisne next to the artillery. (forgot to mark up)

Strategic reserves I guess are the 334th Rgt of the 84th Division but they are at Aywaille.
