Turn 9

Scouts spotted the sniper firing on Group 1 from the woods Group 3 is suppose to clear. Smoke was popped by the engineers so they can continue their mission without worrying about the sniper. One mortar has been plotted on the sniper and scouts will try to finish it off once it is suppressed. The enemy obviously saw Group 1 coming, but were slow with the artillery. They are pounding the road about 250-300m East of the bridge. Panzer Grenadier support tracks caught the fallout from that because they are in that area. One was immobilized and probably will get destroyed before the barrage stops.

Group 3 is starting to form up and Group 2 is holding position.

Recon tracks are moving forward to engage the enemy infantry up North. The plan is to distract them and maybe get them to shift artillery where it won't do much damage.

The enemy keep pounding an empty cross roads for some reason.

Casualties

Friendly: 1 casualty.

Enemy: Zero.

Turn 10

Group 1 is starting to take up positions in the ruined houses. No enemy units have been seen in this area. It's possible the artillery barrage got the to run. In the woods to the North, a bazooka team has been spotted near the sniper. It opened fire and inflicted a casualties on a scout unit. Mortar fire started to hit the sniper position and another one was plotted on the bazooka team. Enemy artillery continued to pound the area East of the South Bridge. I found a "gamey" way to save my immobilized track. The crew was force bailed out and carried away by another support track. Now, the immobilized track could get hit by a meteor and not suffer any more damage

Groups 2 and 3 are holding position as enemy artillery is hitting their route. Group 4 is starting to pull together.

More enemy infantry has been spotted up North. They likely have at least two platoons and it could be a company strength unit. One squad was engaged by two recon tracks.

Scouts spotted enemy in platoon strength East of Hill 1. Artillery has been plotted on their positions and counter battery is also ordered on some enemy mortars sighted.

Enemy artillery is continuing to hit the empty cross roads.
