Turn 19
Enemy dropping mortar fire on hill 4 now. No effect.
Artillery started coming in on enemy positions. Enemy units are suppress. Will wait one more turn and then start advancing on those positions.
Enemy Sherman engaged one PzKw IVh from hill 3 with no effect. Scouts with panzerfausts are positioned in woods near this hill in case enemy tanks start moving from this sector.
One mark IVh stumbled across a M4A3(105) behind some trees. After a near penetrating hit, they withdrew and artillery was plotted.

Re: DAR: Sicily
Turn 20
Enemy mortar fire continuing to come in, making life difficult for me MG-42 teams on hill 4. My Tigers have moved off the hill as smoke from burning vehicles are making the position unsuitable as an overwatch position.
Artillery continuing to come in on enemy positions. Time to start moving against them. Grenadiers and engineers are prepared to move of the top of hill 2 toward objective groups G1 and G2. G2 hasn't been properly reconned yet, but scouts are moving that way.
Core infantry are prepared to move against enemy positions nearby and objective group G3.
A rookie mark IVh was destroyed by Sherman on hill 3. Hauptmann Krohner however, destroyed the Sherman scoring his 104th victory and he is not and never has been in a Tiger.
Casualties
Friendly: One PzKw IVh tank destroyed.
Enemy: One M4 (Early) tank destroyed.

Turn 21
The enemy is starting counter battery fire against my guns now. Some suppression as a result from their fire.
Engineers and grenadiers went over the top against the enemy positions. Several bazooka teams opened up on them, but suffered casualties from return fire.
Core infantry moved against objective group G3 and enemy positions nearby. Enemy infantry took a beating. Continuing friendly artillery came up short on one gun and hit my units. Some casualties resulted.
One platoon of Tigers is heading to hill 2 while the other platoon is heading toward the West woods.
Casualties
Friendly: Estimated 5 casualties.
Enemy: Estimated 10 casualties.

Re: DAR: Sicily
Turn 22
Enemy counter battery continuing. My off board guns returned fire with some effect.
Core infantry within 100m of objective group G3. Enemy infantry and tanks have been engaged. Infantry is running and two Shermans were destroyed. Enemy dropped some artillery on my units.
Enemy infantry between hills 1 and 2 are taking a beating from small arms fire and artillery. My engineers and grenadiers are pushing forward. They distroyed several bazooka teams. Another enemy squad was spotted. Artillery was shifted on target for immediate suppression. That unit suffered casualties from both the artillery and small arms fire. Scouts are within 50m of objective group G1, but are no going to move in because I don't want to trigger an enemy response before I have a large enough force there to hold it.
Artillery continued to suppress the enemy 105mm Sherman. Hauptmann Krohner popped out and scored his 105th kill.
Casualties
Friendly: Estimated 10 casualties.
Enemy: Two M4 (Early) tanks and one M4A3 (105) tank destroyed and estimated 20 casualties.

Re: DAR: Sicily
Turn 23
Enemy stopped counter battery fire and started dropping artillery in the West woods. It was close to some of my infantry, but no direct hits.
Engineers and grenadiers are pushing into the gap between hills 1 and 2. All enemy units in the area are running. Artillery is continuing to move with them to not give them a break.
One flag turned in objective group G3. Core infantry encountered more infantry and a 50 caliber HMG. Artillery was shifted on target for immediate suppression. The area is fairly wooded, so the supporting tanks are staying back. Two platoons of tanks and the headquarters section are now moving to support efforts to capture objective groups G1 and G2.
Scouts encountered enemy infantry East of objective group G2, taking several casualties. Artillery has been plotted in the area. Engineers and grenadiers are pushing in that direction.
Casualties
Friendly: Estimated 10 casualties.
Enemy: Estimated 15 casualties.

Re: DAR: Sicily
Turn 24
Random enemy artillery hitting near West woods.
Here's a big OOPS!!! My artillery was dropping on enemy infantry between hills 1 and 2 and my engineers and grenadiers pushed in and destroyed the remaining enemy units. I forgot to shift or lift my artillery from the area, so it dropped on my units. Luckily, it was only from two guns and I think the only thing that happened were the units got suppressed.
Still pushing toward objective group G2, but now that flags have been turned at G3, the enemy troops are climbing out of their holes and running that way. My artillery will give them a rough time if they are moving in the open. Several enemy units are already pinned.
Two enemy bunkers spotted South of objective group G3. They aren't in a real good position to cover it because there is smoke from burning Shermans hanging over the area. I did notice two Shermans that aren't burning. One platoon of PzKw IVhs and one platoon of Tigers are positioned to engage them once they leave their revetments. More enemy infantry is trying to push toward G3. A second flag was turned, so they are moving to take them back.
Casualties
Friendly: Estimated 10 casualties.
Enemy: Estimated 20 casualties.
