Scenario Description
The roadblocks along the Wiltz road had not been established in vain. Even the disaster at Wardin bought time for the 101st Airborne to move into position around Bastogne. Just as Lt. Colonel Roy Inman's 2nd Battalion of the 327th Glider Infantry Regiment was relieving some engineers in the village of Marvie, a platoon of German tanks, led by a single Jagdpanzer, began shelling the town and engaging Team O'Hara's light tanks. At 1100, a company of panzergrenadiers in halftracks, came barreling out of the woods right into the town and almost on top of Inman's glider men.

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.
