Mission Length: 20 minutes
Background

The year is 1944.  The Allied forces managed to successfully launch the invasion of France 6 months ago, and are now poised on the border of Germany.  Supply issues and the onset of winter have convinced the Americans and British to dig in, and go onto a defensive posture until next year.  They feel safe in their position…they have overwhelming air superiority, the Germans are in full retreat, and only the Russians are crazy enough to attack in winter…

Meanwhile, deep in his bunker in Berlin, Hitler has ordered that a surprise attack be launched in the west.  He believes that a quick strike through the Ardennes will force the Allies to retreat, just as it did in 1940.  So, the plans are drawn up, and the attack is launched.  The Germans are fortunate, in that the first days of the offensive are marred by bad weather, so the Allies air supremacy doesn’t even factor into the battle.  The Panzer corps quickly punches a hole in the American lines, and start racing through the Ardennes.  The Americans fall back to desperately created defensive lines.  One such defensive position is around the small town of Bastogne, which is a major railway and road nexus in the area.  German control will enable them to advance with much greater ease, and the small oil dump on the edge of the town will be very useful to the Panzer.  However, it looks like the bad weather is clearing up.  Within 30 mins, the Allied Air forces will be able to fly, which will bring the offensive grinding to a halt…
