Bulge 16.01s alt

[Plain Ian]

Turn 81 German – 2am 25th Dec Snow – Grandmenil – La Roche
 


A fairly quiet sector. All that can be heard is the sound of shovels and German swearing. A lot of sweat and fatigue but no results.

In the RUBBLE of Odeigne the Jagdpanzers are busy whilst the Panthers sit watching. Cesar is happy to rest and no fire comse from them?

South of Odeigne everyone is digging, but they do have time to fire at the 1-290th.

On the Samree – Baraque road you will see something that you won’t see very often. A disrupted German unit sitting adjacent to two US elite units!!! Admittedly the German unit is an SS unit in a TRENCH, but the 9th SS is a C quality unit and if disrupted its D. So I have 1,200 paratroopers next to 400+ disrupted SS troops? Cesar did not pull them back??? So he is expecting me to assault? Well I probably have to do this. One Bn might not be enough so both? Its one more hex along the road. There will be a fresh SS Bn behind it dug in no doubt.
 
Back at Samree the Engineers have finally cleared the RUBBLE and look back waiting for the armour to roll through. Guys where are you? I’m afraid the 2nd are back at Champion awaiting a decision. The engineers have performed remarkably clearing the town in under 24 hours I think? (I’ll have to check)

And thats it for this sector. I’ll have to get something done in this area. 9th SS infantry have good soft attack/defensive factors but are C quality. The 75th is a D quality unit so not the best unit for attacking. I’ll need the help of good units like the Paras and the 84th Division to the north. (C quality)
