Turn 75 Ferman - Spa



The fighting at Spa continues. He has his objectives and now wants to secure his flanks. The 3rd FJD pushes up against 3rd Armoured tanks and the 99th is badly hit and the armour losses an M4. 

The Pnther Bn from 12th SS reaches the front line and 1-33rd losses 2 tanks in tank battles. My artillery surprisingly kills a tank in return fire. 

I'm amazed that he just doesn't keep going. His King Tigers are fresh as daisies and still probably at their original strength and his infantry at Spa must be also be in reasonable fatigue? US forces are in no condition to contest him. 

I actually feel like just pulling out of this area all the way back to Verviers. Instead I guess I just sit and watch him over no mans land and patiently use artillery and try to builfd up on his flanks.
