Turn 28 action -
My HQ moved just enough so that my mortars didnt fire on those squads. So only 1 broke, and the other two managed to kill a vet squad of mine that was trying to throw a satchel.
Turn 29 action
I assault this middle flag and throw a satchel. You can see the explosion and all the fire on that one squad, but it doesnt even lay down. Got to be a +2 Morale leader back there. So on turn 30 I have my 5 mortars targeting those two German units in the middle. I sure hope that back one is the HQ. If I can break the HQ, that whole position should fall. If not, I am going to have a tough time winning this game.
But even +2 morale HQ units cant stand up to a 5 mortar barrage so (barring that not being the HQ unit) I still think I can either take or push all the flags. But it sure has been a tough and nasty fight. I am ready for it to be over actually.
