Turn 1

Application of the initial offensive plan with the combats in red and the movements in green

Situation after first fight:

The results are in accordance with the plans

Initial moves:

6PzA : 1SS gives up to take the fuel depot and prefers to try its luck by going in rough terrain

5PzA : regrouping of the 3 divisions of the 57th PzK

7A : Passage of the Our and infiltrations

Reaction and arrival of US reinforcements:

Positioning of troops in front of the 6th PzA and attempt to protect StVith.

End of turn situation :

Turn 2

Ideal sequence to start the turn for the attackers:

- "Move/combat" chosen then "Move" . The weak defenses in front of Bastogne are taken, but especially the Ambleve is crossed by the 2 SS Pz divisions . All attacks were made by lucky dice. The Ambleve was crossed thanks to attacks at 1/1 and good die rolls .

St Vith is taken, Houffalize is taken, the 7th army is advancing !!! Bastogne is surrounded !!!

It's the debacle ..

After this disastrous advance, the US reinforcements arrive and try to reconstitute the defense lines. The 101st Army goes to Bastogne in the hope of defending the city.

But it doesn't lead to anything, the city falls easily...

At the end of the turn , Marche falls under the blows of the 57th PzK and even Luxembourg is threatened .

Tour 3

The Panzers crossed the Meuse and took Dinant! But the fear of falling out of supply made them change their mind and they decided to take Neuchateau

The Americans failed miserably in their counterattack to take the city...

It is then only a formality to take the 5th objective.

Sudden death German Victory !
