Battle of the Bulge

The trees lining the roads are just there to be pretty, and so the U.S. Army can march in the shade.

NOTE - this rule postdates Battle of the Bulge, but is period appropriate. Its use is recommended. -- Infantry AT-fire in assault: Roll one die for each full strength, good order INF, GREN, PARA and ENG unit in the hex - defending units must be unactivated to attempt AT fire. On a result of 5 or 6, the unit gets to make a strength 6 AT attack against any enemy AFV in the hex - the only applicable modifier is +1 if there are no enemy infantry units in the hex (other than mortars and non-combat units). This fire occurs simultaneously with the assault, and units that fire AT still get to fire in the assault roll. Apply results of the AT fire after normal assault combat results.

Setup instructions tell the American player to place Company B on board 8. Board 8 is not included in this game or the scenario setup. I believe this should be board 9.

The 560th set up instruction makes a lot more sense if you swap the references to boards 10 & 11

Terrain instructions only mention ignoring town on B11. In Team Desobry #1 these were treated as roads.

Special rule 3 indicates "turn 16 (1645)". Turn 16 is not 1645.

Confusing set up directions for Germans: "...within 3 hexes of the east edge and withing 3 hexes of the north edge."

Could mean within 3 hexes of the entire north edge and within 3 hexes of the entire east edge. Or it could mean a 3 hex by 3 hex zone in the very northeast corner.

Since even triple stacking all the German units wouldn't fit in the little northeast zone, I interpret the instruction to mean all across the north and east edges.

For all reiinforcements except the American M4, the turn numbers and times do not match correctly given the 0815 start time for the scenario:

Second German group listed as Turn 28 (1530) but T-28 is 1500 American Company C listed as Turn 39 (1815) but Turn 39 is 1745 American Company F listed as Turn 55 (2215) but Turn 55 is 2145

I used the turn, not the time, for all

The Turn(time) instructions for reinforcements and artillery rules are out of sync by two turns. I used the turn indicated rather than the time indicated.

Scenario has a major river but no ENG units, so the river crossing numbers should be ignored, unless players wish to invoke the 3rd edition optional rule that in such cases you can use the crossing numbers without ENG assistance. The crossing numbers of 5/3 are from the era of 1d6 (not 2d6).

There is a desync of 2 turns between the turn(time) indicators for reinforcements and special rules. I used the turn indicator rather than the time.

Countermix does not have enough Heer officers to fully support this scenario. I used the included Luft leaders to fill in the gaps.

Two 105mms (ID#s 1204, 1205) have "16-31" fire values in black (direct fire), when they should be in white (indirect fire).

All SS PzIVH tanks should have a movement of 8.

All SPW 251s have an armor value of 0.

The movement allowance on the counters in Airborne is misprinted. It should be "3."

Reduce strength direct fire value be came 5-5 in Army at Dawn.
