Dec 22nd 2pm (Snow vis 2 hexes) the south


Last map. Not the best to look at but I went for a higher view.

Panzer Lehr is still deploying it seems plus I can see 5th FJD units south of Pratz supported by VGD units.

The Divisional Engineers of the 80th Division (305th Engineers) lose 14 men to Pioneer fire. Looking at the units here I think he has divided again to dig in.

 The 1-319th which is already disrupted receives some fire then is assaulted. The assault result was 12/25. This cleared the road and allowed him to move a few units through. The 2-319th was untouched and the hex to the south is clear terrain so it can withdraw ok. The 1-319th is also hit with artillery.

The 2-22nd which was also disrupted came under heavy werfer fire and then was assaulted. Result was 17/30 for the assault. It fell back on the the B/811th TD which was hit by artillery and lost an M18 and disrupted. It has 5 left.

Heavy counter battery fire was directed at 42nd/423rd FA Bns. 2 M7 Priests were lost and 2 105mm guns.

I’m not sure what he has south of the Attert R. in the Brouch area but most of it seems to be north of the river now. Guess its time to move my best unit 4th armoured north and leave 10th Armoured to defend. The only problem is that its not easy to do this as the only way north is by the minor river NW of Redange.
