Turn 47 Allied south



Last map tonight. I'll try to do over view maps tomorrow night but I think Mike will probably be sending me something soon. (He is in New Zealand 13 hours ahead of me)

Just artillery fire results to see mainly apart from one ground fire attack.

The 8th/37th Tank Bn's fired at his Pioneers. Two blasts killed almost 100 men and the unit Broke and ran. With hindsight I guess I should have advanced something to see if he had anything behind this unit? Who knows I may have been able to isolate his armour for a turn.

Anyway I have fallen back and will see what he does.

All 3 Tank Bn's from the 10th Armoured are in the south (3rd/10th/11th) with a reasonable amount of tanks. (28 each roughly) The Armoured Infantry Bn's of the Division are shot (54th/55th and 61st which is off map to west) but the 10th Arm Inf of 4th Division is there for support as is the 53rd. The armour of 4th Armoured is kept in the north.

I'm trying to withdraw CCA of 9th Armoured to send north to join rest of the Division.

As you can see 4th Infantry Division is pretty well used up. The 2-22nd being the best of the bunch. (Morale B too)

I have accidentally left an artillery unit the 423rd Arm FA Bn (M7 Priests) in the front line. If he spots it he will pound it. I should have fired it once and moved it.

The 90th Cav lost a tank, I think I put it into T Mode and it got hit when I pulled it back.
