1st Chronicles Of V Panzer Army DAR

[Von Earlmann]

The other point to remember is that even thos the regiments were surrounded,they fought for a few days and tried a few breakouts which did infact tie down numerous German forces to keep them pinned.Al of this along with clogged roads lead to a significant delay in the capture of St. Vith. St. Vith was actually considered more important than Bastogne as there were fewer ways around this town whereas Bastogne was quite bypassable.Delays here allowed for the 82nd airborne to move into position along the Salm River and the 3rd armored Div to move in support........speed Generals is of the essence.........and the Germans quickly found that the Ardennes of Dec 1944 was far different than the Ardennes of May 1940.....I at least got that part right.........of course I compromised with snow terrain as opposed to mud for playability.But, who knows what the next version will bring :-)
