Bulge 16.01s alt

[Plain Ian]

Turn 78 German - north



Cesar was quite clinical and picked the targets he needed to hit. The 2-39th was well werfered and then shot up by by stacks A and B. 

His disrupted units in Marsh above stack A were pulled back. 

At B I think he pulled out a disrupted unit and put in 2 units to support his armour. His armour is busy digging in. 

The 1-26th was digging in and this isn't allowed so again he used werfers to disrupt and stop this. 

Similarly in the south the 291st had been set to dig in by me last turn. He saw this as the biggest 'threat' and concentrated his artillery on it. Fortunately for me he failed to disrupt it AND amazingly they finished their digging and I now have a TRENCH!

The 3-26th was not touched? However that was because at C he abandoned his position south of the 3-26th and moved the 2 VGD units into the hex to the NE which is IMPROVED. 

At D he pulled out the assaulted Pioneer and the 150th Pz Bde infantry and moved in his SS Recon unit. 

I guess I have to return the favour and hit two targets. His armour digging in and the 12th VGD unit at C also digging in. And of course whilst my artillery is doing this ....I dig in. 

The good news is that the 395th recovered disruption and are now fighting fit D units. However his 326th are D's as is his 272nd. The 277th are C's, and the 12th are B's. Disrupting a B unit isn't going to be easy but he did that to me last turn with my 1-26th. But my 1-26th started off with a fatigue of 93 and is now 110. Its disrupted and now a D. His 12th is fresh so I'd need a few turns of artillery concentration for this ...or maybe a few hundred werfers.
