Well scratch one Battalion. The 3-318th went down quite easily. Just shows you how quality and a lot of units can kill off 711 men in one turn using multiple assaults..


Just to rub salt in the wounds the change in visibility lit up the 1-328th like a searchlight and 3-4 artillery blasts later it was a 100 men down and out of the war.



So the Germans continue to get benefits? They get to see the change in weather before the US player every game turn? How about changing the game engine so that weather is by player phase rather than game turn?



The mini Death Star (FBB/2nd SS armour) switched targets this turn and hit the 735th.  Only 3 tanks lost?



The 1-104th also came under fire from the adjacent 2nd SS unit.   



As you can see the whole area is crawling with 2nd SS infantry. Looks like 4 out of 6 Battalions visible. 750 men per Battalion. Admittedly the fire from the unit against the 1-104th didn’t feel like 750 elite men firing? (27 men lost? 11/10/6)



So is it destination Neufchateau or just an exercise to chew up the green 26th Division? Maybe he’ll do both? The further he pushes me away from Bastogne the less likely I’ll have time to take it back I guess.


Nah  I guess he’s picked his defensive line here but will not just sit reactively on the defense but hit out at all times. Well this ain’t the way to Amarillo now.....I mean Bastogne.
