Battle of the Bulge Campaign:Phase 1 Operation Wacht am Rhein

German offensive to push enemy from Ourthe River began at 16th December in the early morning, with thick fog with less than 100m visibility. We formed a line and pushed towards the enemy entrenched position and forward headquarters taking out enemy players defending them. With 1st Zug getting lost on the North side of the enemy HQ, we reorganized at the town on the Western part of the river, securing it and preparing Tanks for the move. 1st Zug started crossing the pontoon bridge, when they came under fire from enemy machine guns and tanks, our tanks following the sound counter fired without seeing enemy positions and destroyed 2 Shermans and entrenched enemy players. When we crossed the bridge 1st Zug and Tiger tank split off to the north to attack the US HQ following the road from the north while 2nd Zug with Panther pushed to the church at the edge of the town. With the pincer movement enemy forces around enemy HQ were cut off from reinforcements and were quickly destroyed by the German tanks. German infantry pushed inside the HQ and the houses surounding it and captured or killed every american they could find.

Operation successful.
