Turn 15
Bad turn for the enemy!!
Enemy infantry pushed back with moderate casualties on the North flank. Engaged infantry with two remaining StuGs, recon tracks, scouts and artillery. I'm sending one infantry platoon and an MG-42 team to support.
Enemy Valentine III tanks near the 1/2 gap engaged by infantry and tanks. Two Valentines destroyed, while I suffered light infantry casualties.
My infantry is continuing to advance on hill 4. Encountered some hidden enemy infantry and pushed them back. I also dropped artillery on the enemy. It was danger close, but I suffered no casualties as a result. There were light casualties during the infantry action on the West face of the hill. On the South end of the hill, the immobilized Valentine IX was abandoned. Another IX advanced into the smoke. This one was destroyed. Still another is pushing West toward the 2/3 gap. I will destroy this one with tanks and infantry next turn. There might be one more Valentine IX hiding behind the smoke.
Two Valentine III tanks that were seen heading Southwest toward hill 3 came into range of one 75mm ATG. One was destroyed, leaving one in range. It should be destroyed next turn. The remaining two Valentine III tanks approaching from the Southeast were destroyed by tank and ATG file from hill 3. My infantry the South end of hill 3 advanced forward and engaged enemy infantry in the smoke of the burning wreckage. Enemy casualties were moderate. Artillery also hit the enemy units in this sector.
South edge flank is almost turned. Only visible infantry in this area are retreating. Artillery hit those to convince them leaving is a good idea
Casualties
Friendly: Estimated 5 infantry casualties.
Enemy: Five Valentine III tanks destroyed, one Valentine IX destroyed, one abandoned, estimated 35 infantry casualties.
