Turn 23

Heavy fighting on hill 30-1. Troops approaching objective G1 from East, North and West. Enemy putting up a stiff fight with small arms and artillery. PzKw IVg immobilized on North slope of hill. Tigers engaged and destroyed two more Lee I tanks on rear slope. Engineers seem to break as fast as they can be rallied. Some are approaching secondary mine field on rear of hill. Panicked enemy troops are running into these minefields. A breach needs to be made quickly in the mines so the Maneuver Force can break into the open. I'm considering moving this force to the left of the Para Force, rather than the right to swing clear of the mines that seem to be along their original route. The edge of the map will guard their flank.

Tigers on hill 30-2 received some incoming mortar fire and moved slightly forward to clear the impact zone, but not too close to the mines detected on the Eastern edge. No targets to engage at this time.

Paras pushing toward objective G1 from the East, while others are starting to engage Bofors from the North. These Bofors are approximately 1200m NNE of objectives G2 and G3. Units pushing West destroyed 6pdr ATG.

Casualties

Friendly: Two SdKfz 250/10 recon tracks destroyed, estimated 15 casualties.

Enemy: Two Lee I tanks destroyed, one 6pdr ATG destroyed, estimated 15 casualties.
