Scenario Description
Peiper and most of his remaining men had silently evacuated the La Gleize pocket on foot during the night of 23-24 December. At 0745 on the following, bitterly cold, morning, two American infantry companies pushed southeast through the Bois de Bassenge as part of the continuing concentric attack on the village. Shortly afterwards as they approached the end of the woods on the heights overlooking the town, they encountered about fifty Germans, along with five Schutzenpanzerwagons and two captured U.S. vehicles, manning a position near a forest track known as Les Montis.

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.
