Status: offline 		Looking at the map, I want to achieve a few things over the next couple of days.

1. I want to turn the flank of the American units holding the river across from the 277 VGD. If I can get the bridge South of Trois Vierges, I can really cause issues for the Allies positions East of Clerf.

2. I want to keep pushing North. The bridge outside of Wereth is very inviting.

3. I want to destroy the American artillery units that are on the front lines. Those guns will be hard for the Americans to replace.

So, the 116 Pz will push North – taking a run at the Artillery units – trying to get to the bridge.

The 326 VGD is going to try and isolate the 106th US Inf Div HQ. While 2 SS Pz will turn South and start attacking the Americans guarding the West shore of the river.

12 SS Pz will begin the push towards Trois Vierges.

I attacked again in the next round and had even less success. Wow

Status: offline 		This is a very interesting area on the battlefield at the moment. The Americans have elements of the 7th Armd, 30th Inf, 99th Inf and 106th Inf along with some Corps and Army elements on the South side of the river that cuts through Malmedy.

What I would like to do is cut off and destroy all the American units in the pocket. Getting Malmedy would be great, but it is not as important as destroying all those units. I really want the Mech Inf Regt NW of Wereth.

To achieve this goal, the 116 Pz, supported by 277 VGD, is going to push through Ligneuville towards Malmedy, trying to cut off the escape route. This will not happen this morning, but I can start the process.

130 Pz Lehr will follow 116 Pz to assist with the destruction.

Status: offline 		Hi Mike - Those bridges in Badlands Terrain have to be repaired before heavy equipment and supplies can cross. I know you already saw it, but worth mentioning again for anyone else who hadn't, from the River Assault Thread:

By December 1944 the German Army was experiencing shortages of all types of equipment, including heavy bridging materials. In the Ardennes, the Germans had a limited ability to provide crossings for heavy equipment, artillery, assault guns and tanks, especially the 60 ton Tigers. In Autumn Fog, only units with an asterisk in their unit name can repair bridges in order to provide 'heavy' crossing points.

Thanks for the note. I had seen it and talked about it in this thread. However, I forgot it. Oh well, staff and subordinates do not always tell the commander the full truth. I'm really enjoying this scenario. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put in to make it so interesting!

All the best,

I know, it's one of the dangers of designing things that are specific and complicated. I used to think that I should keep things simple and easy, but after a while I realized that back in the day before computers, we used to have to read large rules manuals for games and keep track of everything ourselves, and didn't complain! So now my theory is to make things specific and complicated if the scenario needs them to be, because part of the fun of playing and replaying is learning stuff like we used to with board games.

Very good point! I remember playing Advanced Squad Leader and arguing with my opponent about the rules. Then discovering I had read them wrong...

You have done a great job with this scenario.
