Firestorm: Ardennes – Turn 4

The German are almost at the Meuse, but the Allies have collected their wits and are attempting to both block and cut off the German spearheads. It’s a race against time.

Oh, and the skies have cleared, so British planes – Typhoon – are going ‘a-hunting’.

 

Five battles have started.

They are:


Battle arrow #1: The Americans are attacking from E8 to E7, with 4th Armd Div (tank Platoon) and 101st Abn Div (infantry platoon). See figure 3, below.
