Turn 69 Dec 23rd 4pm Dusk - weather Mud - the north 



Map showing V and VII Corps. I forgot to put map labels on but the German 1000 VP label is Spa and the German Pioneer unit in the bottom left is just NW of Stoumont.

V Corps (1st/2nd/9th/99th) has spent most of the day recovering. The Germans were using a large stack of armour for attacks (A/B) however after I collected all the Divisional armour and brought it down (A/B/C) this has had the effect i wanted and he has pulled back. I belive he has 18-20 King Tigers and 5 Tigers in stack B. They are however at 100%. Although I have 6 armoured units and almost 150 tanks only two units (634th/703rd) are over 70%. The rest are averaging 50%. However Cesar is keen to keep his armour intact and not risk any of it which suits me. 
Edit: ignore my talk on 70%. This only applies to infantry effectiveness. Tanks are different. It does not make any difference to them how understrength they are.......but obviously the number of tanks determines the results of their firing.

60th Rgt of 9th Div was diverted to Spa. I've started to collect the rest of 9th Division (cerise colur) so that I can either send them to join the 60th Rgt OR push south with 1st Div. This leaves 2nd and 99th to try to slog west....oops correction thats east''' on their own.

I'll do a map of SPA next.
