Elsenborn Revised | Base Game |
Introduction |
---|
The Big Red One was adding to its huge list of battle honors, schooling the Hitler Youth in infantry anti-tank tactics. But as the officers of the 26th Infantry Regiment holding the manor farm took stock of their position, the found themselves almost out of anti-tank mines and bazooka rockets. If the Nazi tanks rolled forward again, it would be much harder to stop them. |
Conclusion |
---|
The tired panzer grenadiers again suffered terrible casualties from American rifle, machine gun and artillery fire. Heavy fog limited visibility, making it easier for the veteran American infantry to stalk and destroy the tanks that once again broke into the farm without infantry support. The Hitler Youth fell back again, and though skirmishing continued throughout the day the battle seemed to have ended. But the 12th SS Division would not easily set aside its hard-won reputation for fanaticism. |
Additional Notes |
---|
This scenario is completely playable using the maps and pieces from Battle of the Bulge 2: Elsenborn Ridge. SS transport counters are available as a free download from Avalanche Press. If not using these or other SS transport from other games, players should use regular German army transport as substitutes. |

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
