Turn 46 Allied - Spa



There is another Commando unit active in the Chession area.

More tactical retreats. At La Gleize I am withdrawing 1 hex at a time. He follows me and uses artillery. There is a Primary road here, so I guess he could have used armour in T mode and tried to Disrupt and assault me to speed things up?

My forces which are just north of La Gleize are now out of position and I'm trying to get them back into useful positions. However the commandos are going to make this difficult even if they can reach the road ahead of his forces attacking towards Staumont.

I've started moving the 1-120th north and also the 99th. I wanted to rest them a bit more but will have to use them. The 1-120th is an A rated unit so will be useful.

Spa is waiting for the onslaught next turn.

Artillery results were quite good because of the amount of 155mm I have in VII Corps. I targeted his armour but only managed to take out 2 but had about 3-4 Fatigue hits on his Panthers.

The 3-517th engaged in an uneven battle with his 150th Bde unit and added a further 36 casualties to his 12 from artillery.
