Turn 18

Glad we traded in the Pz Grenadiers 251/9 halftracks for AAA as expect more of this, planes in numbers are a menace.
Despite most exiting straight over 2 of my AA units we only hit 1.
2 went for arty crews have left their guns.
Rest hit the North resulting in a Halftrack & MKIII immobilised & without any weapons - StuG no weapons - MkIV damaged but operational.

Due to the planes we only managed to get 1 of the tanks that turned up & more infantry arrived than expected mainly appearing North of the buildings. We have since managed to eliminate the infantry & all but one tank but lost men in the process, units damaged by the planes left holes so we could not counterattack at all against the incursion North of the buildings. More worried about protecting the damaged units & driving the ones that could to safety.
I would think this is the last hurrah anything else that turns up will get hit by artillery & they will soon be encircled.
We should take the buildings & Vhex there in a few turns, paid a higher price for it than I would have liked though.

Elsewhere things are better South force is heading for the only other VHex we do not control. Little hiccup when 2 Baz teams appeared 100m from my FOO he is okay.

Broken out to the West busy killing artillery 3 so far, now swinging round to approach the houses from the West.

Mainly I think due to the Sturmpanzers actions units on the cliff crumbled we are in hot pursuit & will arrive South of the Houses in a couple of turns.
