Turn 29

All flags turned on objective G1 and all enemy in the vicinity elimated. The Tigers on hill 30-1 will hold position while enemy forces advance North to try to recapture G1. They were able to destroy last visible Lee I tank approaching from the South.

Last Sherman II tank destroyed from Tigers on hill 30-2.

Two enemy infantry sections trying to move North toward objective G1, but encounting heavy fire from paras. Artillery has been plotted to disrupt their advance.

Maneuver Force continuing through the gap. They will swing wide to the East edge of the map before turning South. This will have them passing behind a small hill providing conceilment for the move. The plan is for them to approach objectives G2 and G3 from the East. Since all mobile enemy forces seem to be heading toward objective G1, all that should remain are towed guns. The mobile force has three companies of leg units that will take point on the advance. PzKw IVgs will stay back and provide supporting fire. Artillery will be used to suppress gun emplacements. I have to keep in mind there still may be field fortifications and mine around those objectives.

Enemy artillery is inflicting light casualties on hill 30-1.

Casualties

Friendly: Estimated 5 casualties.

Enemy: One Lee I tank and one Sherman II tank destroyed, estimated 10 casualties.
