Noe I have got pictures sorted decided to do a proper AAR on this campaign here.

So far listed force composition & will do a quick summary of the first battle & this battle in that thread.
Just to finish this thread on reflection I think the AI may be in trouble while the arty is annoying & prevents manoeuvring it accounts for a lot of points.
Lesson learned also is you have to follow a bit to close for comfort behind your barrage to take advantage of it vs dug in troops, second battle in the campaign so still average experience.
Placed smoke on the first turn they recovered as still badly supressed but the rally bonus from entrenchments meant they were back to full fighting capacity after 3 turns just a couple of suppression points.
Picture from turn 13 the ground has not really got chewed up any more its pretty similar to turn 6. The difference is all but the top 4 hex rows was completely blanketed in dust - 1 hex visibility.
