I was just thinking at this rate my mortars will be out of range but contact at about 60,65 This is about 1.5 Km in front of central flags & just below a Km from the hill.
A couple of squads moved into trees another entered open & drew fire, unit spottrd MMG opened up ranges 300m+, first blood to France they realy do not like my MMGs, 2nd squad seen. Decided its best not to draw fire so more squads take up position to return fire. Two in HTs move to a position behind trees 150m away, thats as far as they dare, was pretty risky as wary of mines.
Kinda caught with my pants down 3 tanks here are carrying riders, another reason not to, 231 wastes some ammo.

Further South have made further progress nearly to 50 on the road & there is a line of trees running verticaly along 54 nobody seen so a motorcycle ran near to, no fire so mounted troops heading for treeline. Trouble must be waiting on the other side & my scouts seem to have got shuffled to the back of the pack.

Have managed to position 2 mtrs for a half hearted strike at the vissible squads.
4 mortars have been picked up & will be moving up to get the hill in range.
Going to leave that big battery on CB in hopes of something. Has limited ammo so saving for concentration expecting round flags

His go MMG evened up the score & arty kicked up enough dust to totaly hide a squad. Things just go from bad to worse winds blowing in my direction, risking losing my FOOs will not help much.
Giving troops fire support with my new armour could prove costly as those ATGs are going to be very hard to spot so once find mines or a break in holding a tight formation.

Well just as things are hotting up works finaly come online so its going to have to wait
