Turn 55 Allied - Spa



Last map of my turn. The main area as far as I'm concerned. Its a bit busy but hopefully people can follow the action. It was quite bloody for Germans as the AI defensive fire was pretty poor. 

I spread out my artillery as per usual. Weakest points are his units in Clear terrain at either end of the northern shoulder. 

2-517th targeted KG Knittel mainly but did also take out some LAA vehicles. The 2-33rd targeted the 62nd VGD mostly but also gave KG Knittel one shot.

3-517th tried its best against the 150th but they are in woods/IMPROVED.

1-33rd struggled against KG Hansen. (Woods/TRENCH)

The KG peiper PzIV unit was hit by both 3rd Armoured Bn's and lost 6 tanks. The 1-32nd lost 1. It must have been a hard choice to move them in knowing he was up against good morale units but I guess he needs to anchor his line and protect Spa. The 99th targted the 3rd FJD unit.

Apart from that I've started to feed back in the 30th Division units which were in the Stoumont area. Makes more sense than using 334th Rgt 84 Div. Too hard to keep 334th in command and 30th Div are head and shoulders better morale units, even with fatigue. 

The only problem however is moving the units up there, as there are Commandos active on the road.

Cesar not finished in this area. Thats a powerful force in Spa and the 1-117th/1-120th are about to take another large hit.
