Bulge 16.01s alt

[Plain Ian]

Turn 72 2am 24th December German - Spa



He more or less picked the same targets as last time. His Pioneers [C] fired at my tanks 9 times and did sucker them into quite a few Opp Return Fires. He probably lost 20 men. Then the 12th SS hit my M4's and again the 734th Tnk Bn was the target. I lost 4. However my return fire DID hit one of his tanks. [D]

The 23rd Arm Enginers were hit again with artillery and fire from KG Sandig. [D]

The 638th TD lost 2 M10's from the other KG Sandig group but reurn fire killed a KG Knittel armoured car. [E]

At Spa it was bash the 29th Rgt time again. The 1-29th is now wrecked. It loses an average 20 men per firing from his force in Spa. [B] In two turns it has lost 120 men and climb to 160 fatigue. The 3-29th is also starting to wear down. [A]
I forgot to mention my return fire did disrupt a KG hansen unit. [B]

The good news is that the 3-120th recovered disruption and his FJD units didn't. Chance for assaults here? I think the 3-120th and 2-29th will both win and push him back but I'm wary of excess casualties as the FJD units could be big 500 men battalions. So assaults yes?
