Turn 15 start
We are a bit bunched up as expecting artillery where we were, think only 1 3inMtr & the 2 6Pdr batteries remain so going to CB fire.
My arty plots are from previous turn, just plotting in front especially in areas where contact is expected at short range to try & get a bit of suppression.
GROUP A
Acting as spotters & on the hunt for British HQ. It only took 1 ATG to kill both Honeys, they will go after the next one shown. Group N can move past it without being seen as road is depressed.
GROUP N
They have nearly cleared the Orchard out now, found 2 ATGs not 1.
The units on the road killed the routers & will now spread out again, do not like being bunched like they are.
GROUP C
Play was stopped by a 17pdr ATG - it missed & Group S should eliminate it this turn allowing the attack on the Shermans. If the situation allows some halftracks will head here to speed the journey East.
GROUP S
Had a bit of a rough ride just West of the road, due to elevation changes adjacent LOS only then the squad to the NW joined in - killed 3 squads & a Mortar here.
VHexes - 2 squads will check Y - X is a problem all LOS is adjacent only so Pioneers taking up position for when the South Brits move on it. We will probably need to defend both these from what ever is in the area.
Big jump in kills mainly due to clearing orchard which now stand at 53 for 4 plus about 3 squads equivalent men lost.
