You seem to be worried about infantry losses, and have been for a while, but is a loss of 95 men in a single turn really that bad? From what I can tell, it's between 1/5 and 1/6 of the strength of the unit, and if that's all he did in that sector, swapping units at some point should counter the tactic.

A single unit/stack being hit like that each turn shouldn't be nearly enough to force you to withdraw, considering what you have in the area.

It is common that players are concerned about losses that seem high, but at one point you have to think "I lost 95 men, so what?" as it doesn't endanger the integrity of your defences by the looks of it. When defending, some units have to take it on the chin for the greater good. He has no chance of winning a war of attrition on the long term provided you keep hitting back.

Well yes I'm worried because I really don't have a lot of infantry here. The 4th Armoured has 4 if you count the Engineers. This has just lost 95 men and jumped to 79 fatigue. The 51st lost 180 men and jumped to 165 fatigue last turn. So yes I can rotate the other two but after 2-3 more turns I don't have any infantry in the front line unless I start pulling down units from the 80th. 

Not sure if I can win a war of attrition. I have -

Corps 30 guns (2 Bn's)
4th Arm Div 35 guns (2 Bn's)
10th Arm div 53 guns (3 Bn's)
4th Inf Div 48 guns (4 Bn's)

Only 2 Bn's are heavy 155mm.

To win I guess I have to mix up my front line so I have spotters for all 3 Division. (1 hex visibility) I also need to get him to spread his fire by giving him more than one target, which means I have to move up aginst him then rather than sit and wait for him?
