Turn 9 end
Things are going better now we have managed to start engagements at range, wont last North Force is approaching the orchard, Squads only lost one additional man.
Losses to date 19 men, Halftrack (to ATG) + 1 immobile - 250/11gunHT the other is damaged no gun & MKIV no gun.
All vehicles are in South force which is now short on transport.
The British have lost 19 units including a Sherman. Getting LOS on it was extremely difficult but managed to get 3 on 1 in the end.
NORTH FORCE
Still quite here only contact so far is the routed PIAT team, smoke puffs tell us Sextons are about 10 hexes away from the lead squad. These can be a problem they normally carry AP ammo.
GROUP C
Discovered a platoon of Brits, leaving MGs to deal with them when force route, Arty & assisting forces should get them moving.
Squads are moving out now as North Force desperately needs more.
SOUTH FORCE
Both battles are nearly over here the 3 units on the hill slowed progress considerably in the field, trying to figure out where they could see was a major headache, a MG has finally taken up position on the ATG
Progress is to slow here & now we have a transport issue.
Artillery is probably inbound on C or the field & Brits get VHex points next turn.
