Hoffalize is also stormed by waves of foot infantry. The hole at Hoffalize causes a bit of a panic. Two units move into La Roche and Baraque de Fraiture while the unit in Bertogne pulls back to Champion. A unit is also pushed into Transinne.

Attrition is mot juste .
The defenders at Transinne bleed the mechanized infantry white. At La Roche, the Germans fare better, at least giving as much they took. As an added bonus, they have a foothold across the Ourthe. 2nd SS Pz gets as far as Trois Vierges. It seems like 10th SS Pz and 11th Pz, if they are ever released at all, won't be of much use.
