Turn 15 Staff Report: All units were recovering and preparing for the next round of assaults. Meanwhile 2/9 conducted its attack, but was quickly repulsed by highly effective American artillery! We appear to have taken notable casualties, but we are awaiting further information. While the attack was a disappointment, it may have thrown the timing off of that American battalion, because it has not moved since.
In the meantime the Americans are conducting another round of general assaults with the rest of their forces that started at approximately 1110. We are waiting for additional information on how the battle is progressing.

Plan of Action: wait and see how the assaults turn out.

Turn 16 Staff Report: All engagements appear to be over at the moment, except one. It appears that our lines are still holding.
The attack on our far left appears to be from an infantry battalion, and it was supported with a light amount of artillery. This attack advanced 100m and lasted until 1251. Our infantry held despite no artillery support, but we suffered 25 casualties.
The attack on our middle left appears to still be in progress. Initial reports indicated enemy infantry well supported with artillery. More details will be available later.
The attack on the middle right ended at 1313 and advanced 200m. This attack appears to be from a reinforced infantry battalion with armor, lots of artillery, and probably engineers. Our infantry received notable artillery support in defending this area, but we suffered 23 casualties.
The attack on our far right appears to have advanced 300m with the engagement ending at 1330. This attack also appears to be an infantry battalion supported with armor, lots of artillery and probably engineers. This attack received most of our available artillery support, and we suffered 21 casualties.
1400 Unit Dispositions
Plan of Action: With our primary objective achieved, the Stug's are going to be pulled from the line to a reserve position on the left side. Also, it is time to remove 8/9 from the line. Due to their cohesion, they probably won't pull out before the next wave of attacks. Other than that, we will await yet another round of assaults.

Turn 17 Staff Report: the attack on our middle left ended at 1406. The attack appears to have been an infantry battalion well supported with artillery. The enemy appears to have used mostly 105’s and heavy mortars, with some 155’s. The infantry greatly appreciated the Stug support which greatly blunted the assault, however It is reported that the enemy was still able to advance 200m before halting. Our losses are reported as 18 personnel and 1 Stug.
All forces are nearly complete in re-grouping from the last round of attacks. As ordered, the Stug’s pulled from the line and are nearly complete with their redeployment. We are still waiting for 8/9 to begin their withdrawal from the line, but considering their condition this is not a surprise. There is no other action to report at this time.
We also want to report that a weather front is moving through the area and storms are forecasted for almost the entire day tomorrow. (Sorry this was a game manager mistake! Players should have been informed of this earlier, although I’m not sure it would have changed anything).
1600 Unit Dispositions
Plan of Action: continue to give as little territory as possible, and hope for additional reinforcements. The Americans are likely to attack one last time before nightfall. Considering the forecast we are hoping for a reprieve tomorrow, but this may entice the Americans to attack tonight. Fortunately our lines have not broken, though it has been close. The arrival of the Stugs has greatly improved the stability of our situation, but the trick will be to use them without over exposing them.
