#16_01s: The Battle of the Bulge_Alt - PzC 05 Bulge '44

The Historical Grand Scenario for the Battle of the Bulge. On December 16th, 1944, Hitler launched his last major offensive in the west. Having secretly assembled a large army in the dense woods of the Ardennes, he hoped to punch through the lightly defended sector and race to the Meuse River. This could drive a wedge between the Allied armies on the continent. The offensive was doomed by a combination of unexpectedly stiff resistance, a strong Allied response, a tenuous German supply situation, and mainly an overambitious plan. Still, had the plan succeeded, it could have greatly altered the outcome of the war.

This allows more flexibility but still restricts other lower quality axis divisions.
