Introduction |
---|
Rose sent a second task force to join the first on the Donnerberg, but feared even so they could not hold against a determined counterattack. The Germans gathered reinforcements and sent them up the hill, with the Americans pouring smoke rounds down on them to confuse the situation. |
Conclusion |
---|
Exhausted and depleted, the Americans reeled back from the German attack. Rose authorized a withdrawal and under heavy smoke cover they abandoned their hard-won hilltop positions. The German Army had been badly hurt in the previous months, but even its infantry divisions retained the capability to attack when properly supplied and supported - something the Americans would re-discover in a few months' time. |

The reduced direct fire value of the Heer HMG became 5-5 starting with Fall of France. (plloyd1010

This unit is interchangeable with the StuH 42. Technically there never was a StuG IIIh. The StuH 42 was a StuG III with the main armament replaced with a modified 105mm howitzer. The StuG IIIh and StuH 42 counters have the same values, so there is no affect on play. (plloyd1010

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

The M18 has a special rule in Battle of the Bulge but it applies globally: "A two-step M18 unit can fire one anti-tank shot and move half its movement allowance (retain fractions) in a single impulse. The order in which it does these two actions is the player's choice." (Shad
