A few British units are still turning up (unless they are empty trucks) but confident they have lost the will to fight now.
We had taken no losses in the last few turns then the arty resumed, those 5.5in hurt they are responsible for Allied kills. Also pretty sure one shell scored a direct hit on another squad killing 5 men.
North Force have I think won the skirmish there, tank went round the barrage to lend support. 250/11 failed to kill the Churchill but forced it to continue running & put a shot up its tail pipes ending its retreat.
They have partially achieved objective of getting eyes on enemy rear.

Overview of situation this turn with barrage resumed in force.
This has stopped play in most areas the units moving against the last 2 Churchills have had to retreat to safety.
Only areas we are risking movement this turn are
Road leading to bridge is clear 2 Pz Grens in HT will move to help 2 tanks performing dangerous task of picking through the wrecks now we have VHexes back.
Very heavy barrage to either side MGs & my FOO are being hit hard.
The push towards immobile StuG is free of barrage so will continue we might save him yet.
Tanks have actually done really well cannot remember ever having so many damaged units but importantly most still live.
4 are trying to avoid action & survive as damage is severe now things are wrapping up.
