Achtung !!! Heavey fighting continues on all fronts. Second wave of armor advancing on our positions. Sgt Schwendt's Tiger was destroyed and Cpt. Stranky's as well. Two other crews bailed out after taking sides shots from a Staurt Tank. Infantry tried to close assault but failed. Another close assault failed in the center area. Those Recon boys got luckey this time. US Infantry KIA or under surpression in the southen v-hex. Several small squads advancing through cornfield. Infantry Units near town have been pushed back. One flame tank holds center of town. Repeated close assaults failed. The mothers of those boys would be proud.
Most made it back alive. What are Our Orders meine Herr ?
" Hold until further notice." Sgt. :rolleyes:

Allied armor assault continues. Airbourn troops west of town have rallied.Northern platoon of Shermans regrouping. Center of town is in our control. Tigers repelled an assault in the north. But we lost a tiger in the southern v-hex. A section of Wolverines, a platoon of Shermans and a M3 Staurt are to blame. Infantry seem to be surpressed. Army Squads in center advancing. Awaiting Orders..........

Smith reporting in sir.

Many of the VHs back in our hands and we are digging in to hold them. More Tigers are killed and I am in the middle of chasing down MkIVs and SS support.

Sir, where the hell is the 81mm ammo!!??

Smith...THATS RIGHT SMITH!:mad: reporting in Sir!

I think I can take a little longer with this report sir.

The 82nd is at 50% strength and the 3rd Armor units are about the same..I would guess the SS are about the same also. Sir, both sides are worn out, and I still have no ammo for my Mortors. We need Reinforcements, Ammo, and most of all Airsupport.(F4)

I would like to give special attention to Sgt Hanson and his M10 crew..just today they have 2 kills of MkIVs that brings their confirmed kills to 4..very nice work.

The VH hex control has not changed. The Battle is a pitched hit and run for both sides. (very fun and balanced)

I must attack, in force, soon...

Now back to my men! <SALUTE!>

Iron ...??? you there?

Smith here!

More firefights up and down the lines...

The Tiger in the middle was a kill for Col. Hawk...a good friend!

Thank you sir for the Ammo trucks and more Armor....I feel we can take this home now!

Turns are starting to move faster, almost two a day now. No enemy reinforcements spotted. I'm out numbered two to one. Have'nt seen many Infantry units left. Shermans are almost killed off maybe a platoon left. Now We have to deal with several more platoons of wolverines. Americans have'nt gained any ground but looks like they hold the southern v-hex. Game is half over. It will be interesting to see the final out come. Good thing their artillery has fallen on armor units retreating or open hexs. Artillery has not be effective at all by the Americans. Front lines are holding. For now.......

Smith...THATS RIGHT SMITH!:mad: reporting in Sir!

Sir! I think the Germans may be running out of units and luck!:D
Thank you for the ammo trucks and the Armor...already the M10s (while losing one) have proving invaluable as more MkIVs die. The SS infantry and Pioneers are falling back....

Now back to my men! <SALUTE!>

OKW: Overwhelming number of tanks spotted advancing in all areas. Few Infantry support. Southern Enemy force trying to flank our positions. Small probe attacks along the rest of the front. It may be 4 to 1 odds. Lost another Panzer while in retreat.Das ist allest..

Smith...THATS RIGHT SMITH!:mad: reporting in Sir!

Damm these Krauts fight hard!:mad:

Sir,
The Bastards just keep fighting on and on.....I re-took the center with a recon platoon with the help of a M10. In the very north, it seems to be wide open...I peppered the hill ( what I think ) is the German HQ with smoke,and ready a northern thrust.

My center attack goes well, but I did lose another M4 to a damm 75mm-or-105mm RCL.

With two of the M4s dead and another running, I am down to two with the support of one M3 in the lead platoon. More support is on the way and I hope to move in on the south of "HQ" hill.

Thank you again for the ammo trucks:D a full 1/2 of my 82s are back in action.

Oh....one more thing sir.......There is still a Tiger out there..and he is close...I can smell the beast!:mad:

Now back to my men! <SALUTE!>
