I took most of the formation changes from that book and had to "think" what they would mean and what other choices were available.<br /><br />Wynne, Captain G C.

...I think I might have been overcautious.<br />Ammo: 65%<br />Morale: 85%<br />Strength: 76%<br />I used the short half-company rushes, and counter-attacked in support of 22nd Infantry with just one company (without asking permission from the Rgt Cdr Oberstleutnant von Bontz). Seemed to me that absent absent information of events on my own Regiment's front I would be taking too much on myself to commit two companies (though the temptation was strong). A quick decision called for, the single company was something of a balance between ensuring we still had a line, bearing in mind that only green fields stood behind us, and restoring the position of 22 Infantry. <br />Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152572458899289416.post-35424969460776974092018-09-08T20:21:08.355+01:002018-09-08T20:21:08.355+01:00Itchy’s wargames
