Once again good news and bad news.
The Good news first I suppose.
Elements of Kampfgruppe Student (1 Mech. Div and 3 Infantry Divisions) managed to capture Ghent thus linking up with MOKW and relieving them (after being pummelled by the allies for two weeks).
I've also managed to push the 5th Panzerkorps into a shaky encirclement enompassing Eidnhoven, Antwerp and Brussels. Also, 9th Panzerkorps, now fully formed is on its way up the line, currently located in Cologne (Nearly in Liege!). Hopefully with the encirclement in place I can now push Kampfgruppe Obstfelder into Luxembourge or Bastone to flesh out the salient.
Bad news? Much of Army Group Center (66% of my Armored units) was used to secure this salient and encirclement. Something I suppose isn't so bad since their original mission was to secure the southern flank of Army Group North, but it still detracts from their mission to advance onto Paris.
Also, Luxembourge, Bastogne and Metz all refuse to give up, which is giving me trouble supporting my Southern units. However if I can eventually capture Antwerp that'll free up a lot of units to push south with as well.
All in all, I suppose I'm heading in the right direction, but things are still shaky, for example if the allies are quick they can save their units by breaking through Liege or Namur which are both lightly held. However hopefully we can crush the pocket before then.
