Wacht Am Rhein - Part II

Commander, we need a second effort from your army to complete successfully the winter offensive. Bastogne is still held by those damned paratroops and furthermore the Americans are about to conterattack with major forces. So this is the fact: you will have to fight against an enemy far superior in number and air power than you. Tactically speaking, this is probably the most difficult mission you have yet to participate in. You are risking to be surrounded, but also the Americans could be cut off from their starting positions. Anyway, hope for bad weather and the battle will surely yours. As an alternative, hit only one point of the front with all of your fire power and break into the allied backfield, cutting its routes of supply. Without reinforcements, the Americans will become much more vulnerable.
