Scouts took out the enemy bazooka team North of Group 1 and the group continued to exchange fire with the enemy squad nearby. Another scout is at the foot of Hill 2 and hasn't reported any activity.

Group 2 is crossing the South bridge, with Tigers in the lead. They are going to have to let the engineers through so they can check for mines.

The harassing tactics by the recon tracks are working. Enemy artillery is starting to hit locations where they had been.

Enemy artillery also shelled some mortar tracks along the South edge of the map. Several batteries hit the location and damaged two. The funny thing is, they haven't fired and can't be seen because they are tucked in behind a hill.
