In the north:
Things are still settled in this area although i believe Rick is moving some cavalry units north now they are no longer needed in the centre area.

In the centre:
This is the vital area of the front as i predicted, Rick is now punching big holes in my line and my French troops are proving very fragile and disrupting all to easily, the German troops are now almost at Vimy ridge and had i not moved the Corps troops to this area he may have broken through, so my other gamble of moving the 38e Brigade from the very south of my line seems to have been a good choice as without them and the couple of batteries i have dispatched i believe this sector will collapse tomorrow, it appears Rick did not spot them sneaking away??

In the south:
Events north of the Scarpe river means my position atop of the north ridge will become very uncomfortable, i believe i will have to abandon the ridges sometime tomorrow but with reinforcements arriving by train in a day this area can be bolstered very quickly should i get into trouble.
Night move, a defenders best friend..........

I am going to try and take full advantage of the night to rest most of my troops, and move up MGs and arty on roads for the morning. I also assaulted in a couple of spots to position myself for attacks on nearby objectives - I feel some time and fatigue pressure here and the assaults will allow me to be better positioned.

Spent the midnight turn moving up support for the morning, getting better position for arty and MGs where possible. My attack will be in the southern half of the map, against seemingly tough opposition still although many frontline French units are disrupted.
