Bulge 16.01s alt

[Plain Ian]

Is there a bunker probabilty for the scenario (in the parameter data dialog)?

Good question. I thought no, but look at this map of the Bastogne area. See the hex with the 299th Engineers?



Yep the 299th somehow managed to build a Bunker in 1 turn??? I think it was 1? It might have been 2. It was accidental as I didn't mean to build a Bunker, I just forgot that I was already at TRENCH level. 

So good news is that I will be able to keep this hex that Cesar is a bit manic about. The bad news is that the German can start building Bunkers as well. As if TRENCHES in Forests with A Morale troops wasn't bad enough. Shheee. Of course the Germans don't need Bunkers. They can park a Panther unit in Clear terrain and it is as good as a Bunker. Stack A got hit by at least 7-8 artillery and not even a Fatigue hit? 

I've filled in my losses for this area and also shown the terrain for the Germans as its difficult to see this in the maps. I've also decided to stop calling the tree Woods and call them Forest..........
Stack G is sitting in Clear and tempting.

So the 705th TD is in the pefect place for moving into a Bunker this turn. The 3-506th can fall back and I'll think about whether to move a unit in to replace it or not.

Oh and I'll also get all those General Engineers building Bunkers. US Engineers are super actaully. Wait until I show you one which built a bridge in ONE turn..........tomorrow night.
