This gambit is a pain in the ass as it is completely unhistorical, and several of the modified player CGs address this. I am playing the original CG and sure enough my axis opponent has tried this. I escaped - barely.

I visited the Monschau, Kalterherberg, Höfen area this year. Really makes you wonder why the Germans historically did not send a Pz Div in the sector of the 326 VGD towards Höfen and then south through Kalterherberg towards Elsenborn. The road net was excellent there. I'll never understand why German command drew "Rollbahn A" through woods and over mud paths of the Krinkelter Forest. Oh well they did...
