German Turn 58 Sibret area




Well here’s the action from Sibret.

As far as I can see Group A is still attempting to dig in.
 
He spotted my advance and sent every armoured unit he had to fire and spot for artillery. Group B. The 3-501st was chosen. 
 
His 2nd SS PzGr unit targeted the 818th and demolished 2 tanks for the loss of 4 men. I’m a bit amazed about this as the 818th is in Clear/IMPROVED and should have been easy meat for him? Even a VGD Bn could have done that?
 
The big surprise was that his other 2nd SS infantry unit did nothing against the D/735TNK????
 
His 5th FJD Bn group (+ Pioneer XXX) did however do damage to the 2-328th.
 
Now when I pulled back the 1-328th I didn't think too much about it as I just wanted the T mode unit out of the front line. However I've exposed 3-318th. He has decided to exploit this and has advance a motley bunch of units. Group C. These found the 1-328th retreating which meant they came under fire again.
 
He has also moved the disrupted 5th FJD Bn to reinforce the 9th SS Recon (Group E) and made room for fresh units Group D.
 
So the end result is the 3-318th is cut off and I need a rescue plan........I’ll think I’ll make this a separate post.


Oh lastly I can see yet another SS artillery unit within 2-3 hexes of the front line? What is it with these units?
