[Apparently it is only possible to open up the latest sitrep CSV file. Using the CSV processor found in the matrixgames' forums. Output file is in html format, but the guy made a file to make it possible to have it in .txt format instead. The instructions are so vague that I didn't get it how to do that.]
December 19th, 1944
6th SS Panzer Army sector
In the morning of December 19th, a motorized regiment from 1SS Pz division and an armoured battalion from Führer Begleit regiment launched an attack against St. Vith and took it with ease, finally connecting the 6SS Pz Army with the 5Pz Army beyond Our river. The attack left a pocket South of St. Vith including a mechanized battalion from 9th Armoured division.
12SS Panzer division eliminated the small engineer company located in Malmedy and captured it in the afternoon, while KG Peiper moved westwards. Skorzeny's 150. Panzer brigade was turned into a normal combat formation and it advanced towards Vielsalm with 1SS. 9SS and 2SS Pz divisions will be forwarded to Vielsalm. After taking it, the 9SS Pz division will turn North and take Trois-Ponts.
Near Monschau, 326. Volksgrenadier division pushed back 746th Tank battalion and trapped the 38th Cavalry squadron. 3PzGrn division made a move in the far north and started advancing towards Rötgen. Rötgen approach should relieve some pressure from the weaker line East of Monschau and Höfen.
Also Von der Heydte's Fallschirmjägers finally got in touch with own troops.
5th Panzer Army sector
116. Panzer division dashed West thirty kilometers ending with taking the important town of Manhay. Advancing further West would only result in getting cut from supply so the division will be used to either help taking Vielsalm or Trois-Ponts.
Most of the American troops of 106th Infantry division in the Schnee-Eifel pocket East of St. Vith surrenderd during the day, freeing the two infantry divisions keeping the pocket closed. They will be sent to close the St. Vith pocket. In the Southern half nothing really happened. Panzer Lehr will attack the heavily bombed Clervaux in the morning and hopefully make some progress in that regard.
7th Army sector
5FJ division cleared some ground around Ettelbruck. In the East the American combat command took the railroad bridge East of Echternach. Those sneaky combat commandses...
Positions at the end of the day
Things are looking reasonably good for now. I have around two days before Patton's first major reinforcements start to arrive from the South. Capture of St. Vith and Malmedy was a huge relief. Unfortunately Panzer Lehr's failure in Clervaux has bogged down the attack in the center too much and bastogne can be forgotten. For now on Panzer Lehr and 2. Panzer division will act as a buffer between Patton and the divisions advancing West North of Houffalize.
The gap between Houffalize and Trois-Ponts is starting to open up and after Vielsalm is taken dash to the West is a go. Trois-Ponts might prove to be strongly defended and might be thus bypassed but we'll have to see how 9SS Pz Division fares. The Americans have to be pushed across Werche river to screen the gap.
Allied forces have made only few attacks, mainly in the North and South. They've mainly settled for bombarding the German forward positions.
