Turn 72 2am 24th December Allied - Chession - Samree



The Chession – Samree area has 4 divisions holding the line with most of the action in the south with the 75th and 84th.

 

At Samree I continue to dig in whilst my units are still green fatigue.

 

At Manhay-Grandmenil its a different story. Most units of the 84th are mid to high yellow fatigue (120+) after a days worth of pounding by 9th SS armour. Getting 75th Division reinforcements into this area has been difficult and the D morale units are night disrupting.

 

At Bra the British have pulled back a bit and left most of the fighting to 10th Armoured M4’s although they are starting to fatigue.

 

The 509th Para Bn (independent unit?) has moved into line on the Werbomont road to bolster the 43rd Division which are mostly D morale units.

 

At Chession I pounded his 116th Pioneers who were digging in. They survived artillery and tank fire so I ended up using the disrupted unit. I managed to disrupt them with my last fire....tough cookies. 

 
The 43rd Wessex’s 24 pounders are now dug in and starting to be useful. The heavy artillery (2 medium Rgts) at Soy hopefully will be available soon as well.
