Turn 26

Circle closing on enemy infantry around objective G1. All infantry routed or retreating. The last Lee I tank on hill 30-1 was assaulted and destroyed by engineers.

Tigers and SPAAs destroyed last two enemy infantry sections on hill 30-2. Scout searching East of hill spotted a gun crew, but doesn't see a gun. It is possible this crew is from the 6pdr that destroyed a scout earlier. By destroying the crew, the gun becomes useless.

Paras engaging infantry West of G1 and Bofors to their South. A thir one was found, but abandoned after receiving a great deal of small arms fire.

On a small plateau Southeast of objective G1, three enemy 6pdr ATGs opened up in three different directions. One fired at a Tiger on 30-1, another Northeast at the advancing paras and the last engaged and destroyed one of the SPAAs on hill 30-2. Paras engaged one and inflicted some casualties.

Two enemy Sherman II tanks seen approaching the paras from the Southeast, distance 500m. The way the paras have handled tanks, I'm not really worried.

Casualties

Friendly: One SdKfz 251/17 destroyed, estimated 10 casualties.

Enemy: One Lee I tank destroyed, estimated 35 casualties.
