Playing as the Germans...
Jan 2nd 1530 hours...decided to make my initial advances based upon the historical movements.The bulk of the 257 VG and the 361 VG will begin arriving at 1630 hours.The 12 SS regiment of the 6th SS mountain division starts out with all units on the map.Being that the first day is so short the time is taken up primarily on movement to get into position to attack.
I did not give the orders correctly to the 12 SS causing some of the units to take the wrong route.This mistake cost me heavily in time and affected the outcome of the game.
Jan. 3rd 0250 hours...257 VG in position to attack to the north and the 361 VG in the south. The 12 SS is held up prematurly by U.S. forces due to my mistake in movement orders.
Jan 3rd 0617 hours....257 VG begins attack on Goetzenbruck.
Jan 3rd 0714 hours....361 VG begins attacks on Saegmuhle and Wildengut. 12 SS attempts to move toward the Kohlhutte area.
Jan 3rd 1224 hours....red arrows shows my anticipated movements.
Jan 3rd 2030 hours....In the south the 361 VG attacks are bogged down from U.S. artillery bombardment. The 12 SS movements are stalled out as well.
Jan 3rd 2301 hours....Final positions
