Turn 75 Allied - Stoumont - Samree



34th Tank Bde opted to try long range fire against his panthers. It went pretty well. They managed 2 fatigues but lost a tank. British HQ were happy with this and decided to have a brew up to celibrate.

The plucky US 4th Cav Gp keep up their war on the Pioneers. Men versus Greyhounds.

7th Armoured tanks pound his Pioneers and I occupy Chession...again. 

My artillery look for easy targets and the 116th Pz infantry are targeted. Thats what they get for not being in a TRENCH like every other german unit in this area. 

Suth of Bra he has an artillery unit which he couldn't pull back and is now disrupted. I take two guns from it with artillery. 

At manhay/Grandmenil I pull back my infantry. 

My artillery also picks out any units in Clear terrain.

The 814th TD unit in Odeigne (M36's) takes one shot at his Panthers then bugs out. I can't remember if it was a miss or a Fatigue, but that was enough and it headed for the hills. The 1-333rd and 2-334th were left to their fate. 

The 1-290th/289th Eng took a chance and fires at his Pioneers. The PzIV's stacked witht hem digging in did not fire back.

Lastly the 1-289th bumped into 9th SS digging in? 3 units one hex? He must be broken down? So I hit the top unit with as much artillery as I could and also fired. At then end of the turn I checked and I managed to disrupt the unit. It might recover but it will have significant fatigue so he may not be able to recombine? Will this disuade Cesar from using this tactic?
