This is a continuation of the AAR that i started here.
Time to assault Lierneux !
Ultimately this village is one of my objectives in this scenario and worth 50 Victory Points.
I commit both Schützen Bn's (mot) and the MG coy (mot) to the assault. The defenders, a belgian cavalry coy, are already disrupted and isolated.
To my disadvantage one Schützen Bn and the MG coy have to assault across a stream respectively across a bridge. Nevertheless, after a short firefight the defenders, 74 men, surrender. My units suffered only two casualties during the assault and immediately move south towards Fraiture [1].
Meanwhile one of my engineer coy's begins with the removal of the roadblock west of Regne [2] and my field howitzers move westward [3] to be able to support my attack on the crossroads.
