Scenario Description
The ’Big Red One’ had been in constant combat since the D-Day landings. They were in the Ardennes area for rest and refit when the German offensive launched. These hardy veterans were rushed forward to plug any gaps in the US lines. The farmland and country roads near Butgenbach was one such gap. The 12th SS Panzer Division was still looking to smash through the lines and drive West when they ran into these determined Americans.

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.
