Turn 73 Allied 6am Dawn - the north



After an artillery bombardment to disrupt the 326th VGD unit digging in, I assaulted both of them with the 1-23rd. (2nd Div) It wasn’t a cheap victory as I lost 30 men to his 17. (552 men v 800?)

The advance revealed another disrupted unit and a Corps HQ? He obviously expected the assault and the HQ could be the only unit he had to protect the disrupted unit. (we all do this)

I managed to land a few devastating artillery rounds on the VGD unit in clear terrain stacked with the HQ.

Further south I held back 1-26th (1st Div) from assault and used it to fire only. It performed poorly and was well beaten by return fire and artillery fire.

I had the choice of moving up the 1-39th to support either hex and decided to go with the 1-26th.

Everywhere else I’ve gone with a general advance of all units with reasonable fatigue levels.

The 47th Rgt is going south to support the 1st Division. There is only one road in the swamp so its going to be tricky.

I’ve no idea what he will do with his armour. As you can see I have collected all my armour together, but it is not a great area for deploying and moving armour. I'm a bit wary of being trapped against the swamp hexes.
