I'm on battle 4. I've fought the battle twice now, both times to a draw. All those blasted AT pillboxes, Log pits, and mines, mines, mines!! My units consist of a platoon of Shermans, a platoon of Wolverines, engineer, and rifle units. This last attempt I dropped in a Ranger company, and their handiwork helped, but wasn't decisive enough to turn the tide. I lost 3 Wolverines to mines, and 2 of my Shermans were immobilized. By the time I got them back into action, it was too late. Those at pillboxes and log pits always manage to delay me long enough to prevent me from consolidating any of my gains and capitalizing on them.
I did manage to pulverize the infantry holding up in the town, so the Germans weren't able to mount a strong counterattack. But it was turn 19 by the time I was ready to move to points North and West of the town, too little, too late.
I think I am going to lick my wounds and move on to the withdrawal.
Most fun I have had yet, Bill. But I have a serious case of heartburn. Man, this one was NASTY!!
