Turn 75 Ferman - Manhay - Samree



Nothing much happend at Bra so I haven’t bothered mapping this area. 

To the south from Manhay down to Samree there was not much action here either. I think you can tell whats happening here by the amount of German units digging in. Herbst Nebel has finished and Festung Nebel has started. 

His VG units are digging in guarding the secondary road, whilst the 9th SS holds all the main roads.


The 1-289th of 75th Division got the worst of it in this area. It was probably pay back time for hitting his 9th SS infantry last turn. He had broken them down into 3 companies and was digging in. I bumped into them and managed to hit and disrupt one. Well the bad news was that the unit recovered and he reformed and fired back plus for good measure he added in artillery. Just to add salt in the wound his digging worked and the hex is now TRENCH.
The 1-289th is at 94 Fatigue. His fatigue must be quite high as well. If only he wasn’t in a TRENCH I might persevere here. The 9th SS is a C Division unit but his infantry units are 500 man units.

At Samree my engineers begin clearing the Rubble although I don’t know why I’m bothering as there won’t be much US advancing down that road.

Again this is another area that I need to rethink what I’m trying to achieve now that its clear he is happy and is basically saying come and get me.......... if you can.
