A Legend is Born?

[Crossroads]

I'm into the first turn at this one as well. Against Erik, no doubt I will start leaving a smoky trail on Panthers behind me - as the German player, of course :kill:.

What would be the recommended reading regarding the battle of Arracourt? I assume "Patton's Vanguard" by Don Fox would be a logical choice for any campaign serieser?

I've always enjoyed these scenarios with a book next to the battle. I've read several books about Normandy, but here I am on new ground.

Meanwhile, found this;

- a thesis from sixties regarding the battle.
