Winter 1944

Battle of the Bulge

With the Germans forced into retreat on almost all fronts, no one expected a German offensive. Almost no one, that is...

With their superior winter fighting skills obtained the hard way on the Eastern front, they launched a stinging attack in the wintery conditions of France.

Dreadful losses for the allies have occurred and Germany is once again struggling to cope with the influx of POWs, of the kind not seen for two years.

The US 48th Armored division would have been completely isolated were it not for a heroic stand by the Indian light armoured division which kept an avenue for the Americans to retreat into at great loss to themselves. Sadly the Candian 2nd armored division was cut off in the snowy Vosges mountains and surrendered.

Britain and the US lose in total 12 replacements, canadian 4o5 armored, british 2o5 armored
