As dawn sets on the 7th day of the BotB - the Allies have stopped Scott and his Huns STONE COLD!
I will give the German commander props for putting up a good fight - but with only one day left in the scenario - the hill to climb is very steep!
I believe with the exception of KG Tellkamp Scott has very little armor left for his sustained attack, and is deadly low on troops. The boys in green on the other hand have all kinds of armor and fresh troops now at the St Vith front. I have pulled my forces back a bit on the eastern side of the front - ready to greet what little ground troops Scott still has by my deadly artillery.
Here is the vitory at the beginning of turn 7:
I have decided to show the fronts along the St Vith challenge - here is the front NW of the city - this is where KG Tellkamp was releived of 1/4 of their armor as well as ground troops:
This is the front directly North of the city - where KG Tellkamp linked up with other supporting german forces from the East - this has been a small bloody battle where a good armor clash broke out with heavy losses on both sides occuring. Scott will be greeted by steel rain his coming turn : )
This is a picture of some very nasty battles taking place - Scott has lost most of his armor here and his ground forces have been obliverated - I have pulled back to welcome his forces further!
Here is Steinbruck ford - this is where Scotts attack has really petered out - a combo of arty and heavy armor has shredded the german advance. Scott has lost many tanks here as well...
Here is a snapshot at the prized city - note the fresh ground troops that have arrived and have been unloaded or they are about to be - I kinda hope the germans make a small break through for the city - the fight will be deadly, but will not last very long:
Here is a snapshot at the armor losses for both sides:
and here is snapshot of the infatnry losses:
and finally here is where things stand victory wise at the end of the allied day 7:
