Introduction

The raw 75th Infantry Division arrived at the front on Christmas Eve and was immediately flung into action. A German tank column quickly broke through their lines and was only stopped by a lucky bazooka shot the knocked out a Panther so the burning wreck blocked the road. The next day the infantrymen received air and armor support, and an order to attack the dreaded SS at the village of Grandmenil.

Conclusion

Third Armored Division's Task Force McGeorge had laid out its orange recognition panels properly, but the P38 Lightnings of 430th Fighter Squadron attacked them anyway, killing 38 men and wounding dozens more. The "American Luftwaffe" thoroughly crushed the attack and the SS had no problem driving back the handful of green riflemen who tried to advance without the tanks. Grandmenil would fall on the 26th to the same American forces - but without air support.

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.
