"Montgomery to the Rescue!"

My main goal for this turn is the elimination of the 3 reduced units Randy threw up in front of me.  Out of the remaining six attacks, I hope to at least inflict two or more step losses.  The La Roche bridge was the only one Randy failed to blow last turn - therefore I will try to seize the moment and try to capture both sides of the bridge.  The Wermacht is probably very near its peak combat power as measured by the number of forces it can put into the front lines; in a day or so I will have to start establishing a screen to keep Patton off my southern flank.  (I will also have to start screening in the north as I get by Eupen.)  The bridge SW of Eupen is being rebuilt; in addition to help me put pressure on the far north, it will allow me to get the armor regiment of the 12SS back into the main fray.

Post Combat Summary:  I can't complain about those results.  While the attrition was about as expected, there were some critical advances that will stretch the US defense a little.  Randy took a few chances in order to try save some of the 'lambs' but they didn't pan out.  At this point, the German is way behind the curve in eliminating US units; serious thought will have to be given to 'giving up' the eliminated Allied Units victory condition.
