KG Klink Mini-Campaign in Greece, Map Moves for Turn 3

All,

Here are the map moves for Turn 3.  Here's what we had in Turn 2:
-1st Schutzen moved up to B1 and fought RE/NZ Cavalry, beat them badly and forced them back to B3.
-1st Schutzen immediately pursued, running into 21st NZ Inf Bn in B2, beat them and forced them to fall back to B5.

-RE/NZ Cavalry: Faced with getting roughed up by 1st Schutzen again, they fall back (C3 from B3, giving up the bridge, but hoping Brit Rangers/9KRRC will charge up to assist.
-Brit Rangers/9KRRC: They don't; in the absence of orders, they hold firm at B4.
-27th NZ MG Bn: Fall back to the bridge at D3, from D2, hotly pursued by German 2 Recce.
-21st NZ Inf Bn: Still needing to reorganize, they fall back (west, A 5 from A4), with an eye towards protecting the bridge at A6.
-Aus 2/8 Inf: With German 1st Recce encroaching, fall back (D5 from D4).
-Lee Force/Aus 2/7 Inf: They do, too (F5 from F4).
-4th Hussars, 3RTR: Hold firm, when they really could have helped the situation by plugging the gap German 1st Recce is looking to exploit at E5/E6.
-Wellington Co, 19th NZ Inf Bn: An extraordinarily weak and immobile force whose only job is to protect Servia (E8), for some reason they decide to sally forth (E7 from E8).

1st Schutzen: After two hard fights, moves up to seize its prize, the undefended bridge at B3.
2nd Schutzen: Moves up to C2, in reserve, able to support the east or west routes.
1st Recce: Dashes across the undefended bridge at F3, reaches E4, looking to 'shoot the gap' at E5.
2nd Recce: Moved up to the bridge at D3 engaging and fixing 27th MG Bn to allow 1st Recce freedom of movement.
Panzer: Up to the undefended bridge at F3, looking to engage Commmonwealth armor most soonest (Lee Force then 4th Hussars, respectively), defeat them, and collapse the Commonwealth defense of Servia.

Only one scheduled battle, and somehow I screwed it up!!!  It's supposed to be 2nd Recce vs 27th MG Bn at the D3 bridge, but I accidentally transposed it as 2nd Schutzen vs 27th MG Bn, so that's what you'll see.  Rather than fix it using the unit counters on the board, I just played the fight and let it ride, with 2nd Schutzen and 2nd Recce staying where they're at on the big board.

V/R,
Jack
