Leto puts cover arcs on his Marders and keeps them pointed towards the East. Three of them are packed close together. A 3" Mortar strike would break up this party quite nicely, and Randy has two of them, but here is where he misses his trucks. Both of his 3" mortar teams are still walking at a snail's pace to the action, at least 200 meters from any HQ.
Leto directs four of his PzIIIJs to area fire Randy's large infantry force that is trying to make it down the cliffs into the German holding town. The panzers are happily pounding away and Randy has no answer for it. Fortunatley for the Brits the "rough" terrain helps reduce the damage.
At the Oasis, Randy's British platoon holds their collective breath as the first of Leto's IIIJ(Short)s comes into LOS of them from the South. One of Randy's six trucks escaped off the map but the other five have been destroyed, and it doesn't look good for the remaining infantry, as they are now surrounded with no British help in sight.
To the South, Randy's large infantry force continues to carefully feel its way towards Leto's German setup zone. They are taking some minor small arms fire from the town.
Randy has stopped his 25 pdr ATG from area firing this turn. He continues to move his infantry forward, but none of his remaining AFVs have moved. Randy's Crusader is still doing its balancing act at the edge of the map - it hasn't moved. Leto backed his PzIIIJ(Late)s out of the long range duel they were engaged in after no results - perhaps wanting to conserve ammo for better kill opportunities.
