Turn 72 2am 24th December German - Samree



Well the 9th SS armour did not follow me when I pulled back at Grandmenil. He probably was bored shooting up easy targets. The 3-335th was hit by artillery and ground fire. Its sitting in Clear terrain. It was disrupted and didn't recover. The 750th stacked with it did not recover disruption either.

At Samree it was pick on the 3-333rd time. The reason for this became obvious when a 9th SS (foot) Bn appear in T mode, decloaked and sat there laughing. The two 2nd Panzer armour groups must be sitting on a field of flattened rifle bullets as my infantry fired at least a dozen times during Opportunity Fire. Ping ping ping. Wouldn't it be nice to have a hard attack value of 8 like the mighty Volsgrenadiers. If he had tried that with an infantry unit it would be looking like a collander now.

With a 750 man (B morale?) unit now protecting the rear of the Panther Pillbox, mobile flak unit disappeared. Job done and not a scratch on it. Ah these AMI's will they never learn how to fight war........

The 4 Panther companies also managed to dig in to IMPROVED.  I've had two company sized units digging in the Hoes Venn for a day and they are no deeper than when they started..........
