- F@1724: five units in contact (34) vs. 110th Inf (10, no friendly arty in range), 3:1, 1L broken makes it 2:1, -1 ER 1-1 = 0, D3 stack retreats to 2025. more advances for you to designate. Holding the center will be a challenge for the allies. I should have foreseen 2/2's move to 1522. I'll have to be more careful from here on! If you send me hexes of your advances, I can enter them and then send you eot file for confirmation. |

Request: 6-sided die x 1 3 Message from German: 16AM US cbt 6:1(-1 ER) vs 0906 (surrounded) I still think your 109th Inf moved too far. entering Diekirch from a non road hex costs 1, on top of the 2 to enter the forest that's 3, leaving him 1 MP or 4 road hexes that he can go. Wiltz is 7 road hexes from Diekirch. I'm not sure where you're off, either you counted just 1 instead of the required 2 to enter the forest, or you counted 1/4 to enter the town instead of the required 1. |

I really shouldn't complain, I just calculated the average die roll and it's just under 3.2, better than expected. |

Hi Art. I've created our game in ACTS. I'm almost ready to start rolling, but thought I ought to note that according to Jeff's message of Jan 25, no variants are used in the 8 turn scenario, so no 5th Pz artillery in combat #4, It'll be 32:5=6:1, and I'll probably also throw in some artillery in defense when I get to it. |
