Bastogne Perimeter [Best played against human opponent or American AI]: With Patton's Third Army rapidly approaching from the south, time was running out for the German besiegers of Bastogne. Field Marshal Model ordered Fifth Panzer Army to seize Bastogne at once to 'lance the boil'. At 0330 hours on Christmas Day the Germans played Santa Claus by delivering an all-out attack against Bastogne. The 77th Grenadier Regiment of the 26th Volksgrenadier Division hit the left half of the 502nd Parachute Infantry's line while Kampfgruppe Maucke of the 15th Panzergrenadier Division hit the right part of the 327th Glider Infantry. This would prove to be a bitter Christmas for the veteran paratroopers of the Screaming Eagles division.
