Turn 55 German Chession - Samree




A good A Morale artillery unit was wiped out with counterbattery fire and some M5's and British armoured cars were lost.

The 48th Armoured Infantry also lost heavily to artillery fire. The 17th Tank Bn is still disrupted I notice. 

A nice assult by Cesar in the south with his 560th VGD unit pushed my M5 unit back. Losses were even, he lost 3 men I lost 3 M5's. (not sure what emoticon thingie to put in here.....) His Broken 75mm ATG unit was probably able to withdraw a hex.

His HQ did not move? The SS recon unit south of the 771st has wisely moved away. Unfortunately the 771st has gone Low Ammo!!!! I sometimes wonder why I bother spending a lot of time trying to keep things in command. Its always usually a front line unit that get hit by Low Fuel/Ammot too. It reminds of a boardgame where your opponent gets to pick the units which are  hit by OOS, of course he picks the advanced spearhead units. (GDW's Third World War?)

Artillery also hit and disrupted the AC/2HCR unit taking out 3 Daimlers. (def strength 3) The unit recovered from disruption however. 

The 3-333rd at Samree did not recover from Disruption. However the 2 x 105mm Divisional FA Bn's behind it did set up (only 1 turn), and the Cannon/333 howitzer also set up. So I may be able to bombard his blocking 9th SS recon to bits....or give it a headache.
