I loaded this baby up and the map looks very interesting. I am not much for playing the AI, any one want to run a test on the side of US (Abrams)? I have already seen the Axis set up. E-mail my profile if you are game.

PS is there a scenario that depicts Abram's famous dash to Bastogne? :confused:

At least two that I know of:

"Assenois" and "We Can't Wait" (the latter by Wild Bill Wilder for the "Rumblings of War" and listed under ROW at the Scenario Depot).

Very, very different, though depicting the same event--but both interesting.

I did play it against the designer by PBEM; I had + 25% of forces and the axis side, I lost anyway (by a small difference)

In my opinion this is a very nice map, in wich is easy to get flank shots, the feature of the dry river allows to hide troops and vehicles to be invisible till you decide otherwise, I tried it to against the AI in order to practice some tactics, very good too; I recomend warmly this one, thanks Flammenwerfer for the good moments
