ASL Scenario S4

History: Hosingen, Luxembourg: The 110th Regiment of the 28th Infantry Division had been tasked
with the defense of a narrow ridge running between the Our and Clerf rivers in Luxembourg. The
Regiment sat astride Route N16, a road known to the Virginians of the 28th as "Skyline Drive,"
one of only a few paved roads in the Ardennes. For fifteen miles the stronpoints, often reinforced
with armor and anti-tank assets. One such strongpoint was the town of Hosingen, where Company K,
along with the Company B of the 103rd Engineer Combat Batallion, was posted. At 0525 on December
16th an intense artillery barrage commenced which set several buildings ablaze and damages some
trucks but otherwise left the Americans unscathed. A thick fog obscured anything beyond a few 
hundred yards and as the morning progressed the Americans began to hear Germans bypassing their
positions to the north and south. These were units of the 77th Grenadier Regiment which had 
assembeld in the woods east of town prior to the bombardment and were now on the move to seize
the bridge of Clervaux. Around 0730 the fog began to lift and shortly thereafter the Grenadiers
attacked Hosingen in an effort to take control of the vital roads leading west.
