  And a bazooka hit the lead German tank company.  Rather than get suppressed and let the allies get up close with Shermans, the company rolled to
take a cohesion hit instead (ie using its troop quality to stay in action and take a loss rather than let the enemy avoid opportunity fire).

  9:00 AM -- the German Divisional move is the last chit...so it becomes the first of the next turn.  The Germans move the elements of two divisions as one
(due to not thinking this through in the scenario set-up) and use "second-action" points to fire at the bazooka and suppress it enabling a no-fire-zone divisional
move on up the road.  The lead tank (I mean Panzer) company is a mess and off the road trying to recover some cohesion:

that looks like a LOT of admin markers...

  Yes, there's a lot of admin stuff in the Grand Tactical system.  There's a whole off-board chart for each division and three different admin modes for moving a unit: formation, second-action and Direct.  Still its a fun system and works well solitaire (due to the chit-pull and such).

  I'm not sure what I was thinking when I wrote this, but it is slightly misleading (for example, second-action would not necessarily be a movement mode).  So to move a unit, it would move in the Divisional move as a Divisional move (with limitations to be overcome with a second-action), in a direct action as a direct action and as part of a formation move.  That would all be based on how you allocated your administrative points in the previous turn.  So you might not spend any points on formations and just move everybody by division and direct.  You would not have much offensive punch, but you could defend like that.
