Bastogne, Dec 18th, 1944: After two days of fighting, the US line cracked, Panzer Lehr and the 2nd Panzer Division surged forward towards the key crossroads at Bastogne, supported on the south flank by the 5th Parachute Division. Only small pockets of resistance stood in their way but, further west, the 101st Airborne Division was racing forward to stem the tide. Meanwhile the road conditions, and weather in general, deteriorated. [Size medium] Editor's notes: This scenario was altered to allow German and SS panzer and panzer grenadier division as well as corps and army level pioneers to breakdown into companies. This allows more flexibility but still restricts other lower quality axis divisions. *This scenario has been approved at H2H Productions*

Fun scenario, but I think the victory conditions need rebalance. As the Germans, I never got closer to Bastogne than 4km, but still achieved a major victory.
Great scenario, slightly pro Axis on units but Pro Allies on terrain.
Germans win or lose on Day 1, must push hard in the extreme those first 10 turns
