Re: DAR: Sicily
Turn 26
The only enemy incoming this turn was from one mortar, yet it was able to find a reserve force of loaded core tracks sitting in the middle of smokey woods. Two were destoryed!!!
The push to objective group G1 has resumed. There are mines around G1, but I have plenty of engineers and no pressure from the enemy.
Units are still pushing toward objective group G2. Enemy infantry is to the South, but I'm avoiding them because it's not necessary for this force to engage them. Tigers and mark IVhs on hill 2 are dealing with the enemy infantry. They have been stopped at the moment. Late arriving engineers and grenadiers will help deal with the infantry.
All flags on G3 have been turned. Enemy infantry are still in the area, so I will push through the objective to give myself more room. One of the bunkers to the South has been destroyed and last Sherman has been supressed. I'll assault it next turn. AND my last five reserve tracks from my core have to MOVE!!!
The scouts in the woods East of hill 3 are shifting to prevent any enemy units, specifically bazooka teams, from moving up on the flank of units around G3.
Casualties
Friendly: Two SdKfz 250/1 tracks destroyed and estimated 25 casualties.
Enemy: One bunker destroyed and estimated 15 casualties.
It's starting to seem like the best I will get out of this battle will be a minor victory. My casualties have been very heavy, mainly because of the enemy aircraft and artillery.
