European Theater Tactical Event

Battle of The Bulge
Sponsored By
3rd Zug (LAH)
99th Infantry Division
Situation: The German last chance offensive has come as a complete surprise to Allied front line troops. The rapid advance of the German advance has resulted in individuals and groups of men from various units being cut off from their parent units in what has now become the German rear area. Front line units that have been over run are attempting to reform and break out of the Nazi held area of operation. These units will come together and form a cohesive fighting force and attempt to rejoin allied units.
