Turn 69 Dec 23rd 4pm Dusk - weather Mud -Spa



Fighting at Spa continues. Dusk hides most of his units. Front line units are shown. Spa is now occupied by a large infantry group (Group D) and his King Tigers (Group C) had moved off to fight allied armour. I've tried to keep allied armour away from them. 

The main news in the last few turns was the appearance of 12th SS armour. (Group F) I've concentrated 9th/30th arour and also a 3rd Armoured Bn to meet this. 12th SS infantry are probably massed at Franchorchamps? If he is massing them behind his forces at Spa then this possibly explains his optomism. The 3rd PzGr Div was also operating here so maybe this is holding south of Franchorchamps?

30th Div plus 3rd Armoured have spent 2 days in this area contesting Peiper and 1st SS and I've tried my best to rotate units. 29th Rgt (Ind) has just been fed in and will help. 

I don't have the strength to push him out of Spa and he is still suggesting that he has the strength to push me back further. My only option is still to apply pressure on his wings. His 3rd FJD units (B) appear fragile and disrupt quite easily. He also had a small Pionner unit (A) which I pushed back this turn.
