The northernmost attack of the Ardennes offensive targeted the town of Hofen, which stood directly on the front lines. The rough terrain here would not support a panzer drive, but Sixth SS Panzer Army considered it important to secure the wooded hills. The road leading north from Elsenborn needed to be broken, to make it difficult for the powerful American divisions around Aachen to strike southward into the German Flank.

The German assault met disaster, as the Americans had carefully prepared their artillery fire plan and called down devastating shellfire on top of the attackers. No American position was taken, and the German division suffered massive casualties. It pulled back from the front and played no further role in the Battle of the Bulge, its combat effectiveness utterly destroyed in a few hours.

This scenario is completely playable using the maps and pieces from Battle of the Bulge 2: Elsenborn Ridge.
