A nice quick Christmas Eve Bulge scenario.

This is a straight-forward attack scenario. Move forward, clear the Germans out of the way, take the town, right?

The US lead with the reinforced infantry company plus the Shermans and engineers followed by a rifle company and the Stuarts. The lead company's mission was to move down the road then peel off into the light woods to the north to skirt the German blocking position on the road in front of the far. Their mission is to take the farm while the follow-on company was to fix the Germans on the road and then clear them.

Neither company had trouble with their tasks. The Germans did fight like devils on the road, tying up the assault there for turns until they got wore down. The SS did adjust by trying to block the Americans coming through the woods, but that position got blasted by the Shermans and infantry.

The assault on the town proved tough as the high morale SS would not give. They did get won down, but the pioneers held out to the end. The Germans did lose though by losing control of the road and they only took out the Stuart platoon.
