<r> End turn 16 and Larry is still closing the noose around the remnants of XVIII Airborne Corp and 4AD, now well west of Bastogne. I doing my best to save what I can.<br/>

<r> End turn 14, the Allies are in bad shape after losing Bastogne. Larry is trying to pocket whats' left of XVIII Airborne corp and 4th AD just west of Bastogne.<br/>

<r> In a surprise move Larry has assigned the Gross Deutschland PzKp to the southern sector, southeast of Bastogne. GDPzK started at Bitburg and is pushing south. It has yet to slam into the American lines.<br/>

<r> By the end of the Allied turn 7 we can see that Larry has assigned the Armee Group B reserves to the center sector for the push on Bastogne. That's 1. SS Pz Div black on grey, 9. SS Pz Div with white on grey, and the Herman Goring Pz Div tan on grey pushing west towards XVIII Airborne Corp:<br ...

i'm blowing bridges like a crazy man, in some cases trapping my own units which are pinned and can't retreat anyway.

<r> By the second turn Larry has seized one of the two critical Clerf River Bridges. Bad news for my coming defense of Bastogne:<br/>

Larry and I have started a new game of Autuimn Fog using the latest version 5.0. Larry has switched back to the German and I am playing the Americans. We will start posting when we have some action to report.

I agree that to release 15 Armee early in the game and then assign my Group B reserves there was probably a mistake. I ran into a wall of Allied troops. Perhaps someone more skilled at attacking could have pulled it off. Again, perhaps thats' why the Germans did not ...

<r> One of the interesting concepts of the Autumn Fog scenario is that the German player can activate either or the German 15. Armee (in the north) or the 1. Armee in the south, armies that were not in the historical fight. Of course this also activates additional Allied forces. He can also assign ...

<r> At the end of the German turn 3 5. Panzer has punched a hole in the Beho area. Of course there must be U.S. units still blocking which I cannot spot:<br/>

<r> Larry and I are playing the latest version 4.0 of SPzAbt653’s Bulge scenario “Autumn Fog”. I am playing the Germans and Larry is playing the Allies this time. Steve has cleaned up and improved various aspects of this fine scenario so Larry and thought we would start over and switch sides. I will ...

I agree with Panama's comments. The arty should be spread out into the units that would have the support. The HQ unit should serve purely an HQ function. I do it also, but it just does not seem right.

<r> In a bit of good news the British near the very north end of the map have managed to cross the Roermund river. No doubt they will fall into a pocket in a few turns.<br/>

<r> I'm holding my own though (with battered forces near Aachen; it's been a back and forth slog the entire game here, although Larry picks up one hex a turn on average.<br/>
