Werbomont Turn 58 Allied


Not a great area for me. Not much artillery available and the armour from 116th Pz Div armour to worry about. No reserves to speak of either. I'm also now conscious of how easy it is to isolate units. Once isolated rescue will be impossible so positioning is critical. The clear terrain is perfect for his armour and Panthers are artillery proof. I suspect they will make an appearance next turn here.

740th Tank didn't fire or dig? I forgot this unit somehow. 

8th Rifles targeted his 75mm thinking they would be an easy target but only received a lot of pain and no joy. The 31st Tank Bn tried his Pioneers but switched to the 75mm as well. No losses inflicted but 2 more fatigue hits. 

I've decided to dig in with the British armour. 3rd RTR are B units so can maybe survive a few shots from his 116th Pz infantry. They lost 2 tanks last turn and will probably lose 2 more this turn. 

At Bra the 17th/40th Tank Bn's had an easy target and took the opportunity. I pulled back the 2-335th and left the 2nd FFY. I should have dug in rather than fire with them.
