Re: DAR: Sicily
Turn 14
All things considered, action was light this turn. One enemy mortar hit one of my recon tracks with no damage and one battery of enemy 155mm guns hit hill 4. Some engineers still on the hill took casualties.
The grenadiers pushed the enemy squad out of the woods West of hill 4. It was last seen running West. One more 57mm ATG was encountered by a Tiger at about 250m. The Tiger started to engage it, but after a near penetrating hit, I brought up an MG-42 team to suppress it first. The Tiger finished it off. Engineers and one company of grenadiers are pushing towards hill 2. Scouts still report no activity on the hill. The second company of grenadiers is finally moving over hill 4. Engineers ran into a second Sherman just South of the woods and assualted, damaging it. They are still maneuvering against the first.
Core tanks continued moving forward engaging the two remaining enemy bunkers. They are still remaining. Core infantry started moving forward again.
Scouts finally destroyed the enemy 60mm mortar down South. Enemy infantry was seen nearby, so they started to withdraw. The M10 in the area has disappeared. If it continues forward, it will have to pass through mines and wire before it breaks into the open.
Counter battery has been plotted on the suspected location of two M4 mortar tracks.
Scouts are approaching objective group G1. At this time, no defenses have been seen.
Casualties
Friendly: Estimated 5 casualties.
Enemy: One 57mm ATG destroyed and estimated 5 casualties.
