Summary:
We returned to the Ardennes for another
assault, this time with us as the Axis attacking force. Our initial
push was successful although the panzer column seemed to fragment
too easily and by the time it approached St. Vith (and had to stop
to clear mines) was down to two tanks! Throughout the raging battle
we performed very well and captured the Allied base on two separate
occasions. We struggled to contain the Allies and the reason for this
became clear at the end of the battle when we saw that our force of
15 valiant Hussars was pitted against 23 opponents! Well done everyone.
Sadly, this battle was also marred by incursions into our main base
by some of our opponents, which has been noted.
In His Majesty's Service, [1st Hussar] Blackadder Co-Commander of
the Regiment
