Game Turn 57 German Stoumont – Samree



 
Its a busy map to look at and I had to stop adding units as it was becoming unreadable. However I wanted to show as much of the picture as possible. There really wasn’t a great deal of action but I’ll describe it, working from north to south
 
There was no sign of enemy movement from the Stoumont area. 3rd Armour units will continue their withdrawal.
 
The Sturmpanzer unit was withdrawn and a Pioneer unit moved in opposite the 740th Tank Bn.
 
The 8th Rifles was hit badly by Werfer and direct fire from the 18th VGD. It disrupted but has recovered. Some return fire was inflicted on the 18th VGD.
 
The Cannon/335th unit must have been spotted last turn. It was targeted and swiftly obliterated. Clear terain.......funnily enough I did think twice about using it last turn.
 
The 771st lost a tank from the 18th/560th VGD Group.
 
And lastly......yes the 2 Battalions of the 333rd plus the 2 recon units of the 2nd HCR have become isolated, plus two units are now Ammo/Fuel Low as well. I guess I have to shift his SS recon unit at Oedigne pretty quickly.

I also have to watch the Samree-Dochamps area now as well. The only artillery I have in the area is the 84th Divisions at Dochamps so I can’t bug out now even though I think I should. Its a bit of a Catch 22 situation.
 
I will have to move quickly as he must have strong forces south of Baraque. I’ll clear the Werbomont-Manhay road and see what I can rush down here. Luckily I started to move the 1-335th.
