Elsewhere in 3rd Coy sector
Turn 22
There was a very sizeable EN infantry force moving towards 3rd coy sector. I estimate at least 1-2 companies worth. The EN advance is very well supported by their arty, and forcing my HMGs out of position.
Turn 25
I decided to concentrate 1st Coy to meet the EN infantry threat. 1st Coy had been very much playing reserve till now. 1st Coy will advance from the north and 3rd Coy will push nearer along the edge of the forest.
Turn 28
Here the EN is severely attrited by HMG fires as well as my arty strikes. It doesn't take long to break them.
