Turn 55 German Spa



Not really much action to see. Some artillery against the 517th and his infantry at Spa attacked my adjacent units. (1-120th) 

Apart from that he continues to dig. His tactic of dividing to dig worked as KG Hansen [C] is now in a TRENCH 

I see he has reinforced certain hexes[B] and [C] with 3rd FJD units and of course his KG Peiper Pz IV unit has moved up to support Group [I].

His Pioneer group [D] have also divided and are digging in. (Clear terrain) 

He obviously intends to stay and use his Spa force to wear away at me. 

It looks like show time for my 1-32nd and 2-32nd (both B morale) versus his PzIV's. I might need to bring up all of the 334th Rgt as well. 

9th Inf Div HQ arrives 10 am from the north with armour and artillery, and its last Regiment (60th) arrives 12 noon. These are destined for V Corps but we'll see. 

The 75th Division should have came on now (6am) from the east but hasn't appeared. It has a long journey to the front.
