Christmas Day found the American garrison at Bastogne surrounded. The Germans marked the holiday with an assault on the hitherto quiet northwestern perimeter -- with Bastogn as their goal. Spearheaded by Kampfgruppe Maucke of the 15th Panzergrenadier Division, the attack pushed off at 3:00 a.m. They pierced the line of the 327th Glider Infantry Regiment and proceeded eastward, while farther to the north Grenadier Regiment 77 of the 26th Volksgrenadier Division broke into Champs and engaged Company A, 502nd Parachute Infantry. In response to the battle at Champs, Companies B and C of the 502nd were ordered to positions east of the village. Kampfgruppe Maucke split up at dawn, with the smaller element moving north to bypass Champs where it encountered and destroyed two U.S. tank destroyers at a cost of two tanks. It then unknowlingly advanced and collided with additional U.S. forces.

VICTORY CONDITIONS: The German player must exit as much of his forces as possible off of the East edge of the battle area.

WEATHER: Ground Snow with Rain

TIME: Dawn
