Part 15: Turn 18 - 30th October 1943
Bradley holds off another German attack.
Casualties remain light.
Another week of poor weather limits the damage our bombers can do.
Tactical keeps up the good work.
I think clearing these guys out is going to need a few more troops.
Here we should be able to begin our work next turn.
I aim to properly expand the beachhead this week. They are well dug in to the south.
The north, not so much.
With a gap opened, 6th Armoured exploit it.
And we are on the move!
I keep the pressure on.
Now to try an consolidate the advance!
Many units are already worn out by a week of fighting, or are to far to move up. But I take a good 20km of land this week.
Two more armoured divisions and some Canadians arrive, along with the 1st British infantry division and X Corps. I'm even able to unload the 2nd US, readying them for operations next week!
Even losses, not bad for an assault on Rome!
