German Turn 6 - Dusk



Sememychi now invested. The defenders 2/322nd actually disrupted on first direct fire. However they did give reasonable return fire plus received artillery support. He used artillery at the end.

Elsewhere the German 7th Div followed up and kept up the pressure. But he took more losses than he dished out plus one of his units Disrupted. (7th Div is B morale) Not sure if I can take advantage of this by assaulting but both the 2/17 and 3/113th are available. I can’t see any advantages from it. 

The good news was that the 1/113th and 2/113th recovered from Disruption this turn. 
  


The German MG unit of the 258th discovers my 689th AT unit. I lose 1 gun to direct fire and he uses a lot of artillery on it to kill another 6 guns. 7 guns lost 3 left and the unit is disrupted with fatigue 87. Well I guess this saved a few other units receiving artillery but I doubt I would have lost 70 men. (1 gun is equivalent to 10 men in Pz C) - I edited this bit -

The 258th Pioneers bugged out opposite my 3/787th. 

All along this front he moved up and there were sporadic fire fights. The 3/787th was not assaulted? I pulled back the 4th Sappers and 1/774th anticipating this but it didn’t happen? The 4th Sappers are still Ammo Low. 

A German 258th Battalion (A morale) was Disrupted by return fire losing -1 man? 

The 20 men in the cut off 1/757th and 2/757th went down fighting to the end. They managed to take a German with them. Hooorah.

I’m debating whether its worth trying to move the 689th AT. It might get into travel mode but wont get far on the RR. 

I’m also wondering if the 1/25th could have reached hex A last turn. That would have solved a lot of problems. It doesn’t look like he is going to flank Navaya. Only a Pioneer unit. He is more occupied with Sememychi anyway.

VP and losses



I'll see if I can do my turn now.
