Turn 58 German - Grandmenil



9th SS has arrived and things look grim. Not only do I have to get the trapped units out but I have to start digging in to survive. 

I think I will only get one shot at shiffting his 9th SS unit or removing the AA Flak unit. I'll probably have to go for both. I've just realised looking at the picture that assaulting the AA unit with 1-333rd may be the best option. Luckily 2 Bn of artillery are available.

Edit: Addition. A move I didn't comment about was Cesar moving the 560th VGD HQ to support his disrupted unit. Its another sound PzC move. When you have a disrupted unit then its easy prey to assault. So he has moved up the HQ to help defend. I'm not sure my AC unit would have remained undisrupted after its assault attempt but i guess he wanted to hold the hex. HQ's tend to be pretty tough units in the game. I'm not sure why because there is nothing coded I think to make them tough? But for some reason they always seem to take lower losses and survive assaults better?
