Scenario Description
In late December 1944, while the Germans still hoped to capture Bastogne, US troops recovered the initiative to relieve this city which was partly besieged. The 11th US Armored Division, just arrived in in the western front and totally "green", was in the forefront of the attack by the General Patton' 3rd Army, on the south west of Bastogne. The village of Chenoble and the "Bois des Valets" were the theater of fierce battles between Sherman tanks of the Task Force Pat and Jagdpanzer IV/70 of the Führer Begleit Brigade. US troops lost a lot of tanks and succeeded to clear the area only with the support of the artillery and fighter-bombers of the US Air Force. The stage is set, the battle line are drawn, and you are in command.

Battle Narrative
The Battle of the Bulge, also known as the Ardennes Counteroffensive, was the last major German offensive campaign on the Western Front during World War II, and took place from 16 December 1944 to 25 January 1945. It was launched through the densely forested Ardennes region of Wallonia in eastern Belgium, northeast France, and Luxembourg, towards the end of the war in Europe. The offensive was intended to stop Allied use of the Belgian port of Antwerp and to split the Allied lines, allowing the Germans to encircle and destroy four Allied armies and force the Western Allies to negotiate a peace treaty in the Axis powers' favor.
