Wars Over By Christmas

[Von Earlmann]

Or not...........Ashcloud and von Earlmann have been placed in command of a thinly held sector of the Ardennes.........all reports indicate this is a quiet sector and no German attack is possible..........scuttlebutt has it the Germans are finished and we will be heading home by Christmas.

Tiger88 and Peiper seem to have been given a major attack force and the newly arrived 106th Inf Div is already fighting for their lives. The 14th Cav group has also been hit hard and is trying to figure out how a recon attack could be this strong. We have been assured by HQ that this could not possibly be a major German offensive so we shall see as the 1st Chronicles of V Panzer Armee begin. Reports of heavy artillery are filtering back from the front along with major probes by German infantry. How can this not be an offensive operation?
