Philippe,

I believe you're talking about the demo of Battle in Normandy, which contains The Ardennes Offensive (i.e Battle of Ardennes) scenario.

First of all, I never have won as the Germans [:(]
But I know a few tricks that some good players told me while kicking my butt :
- be fast. The goal for the German is to take as many cities as possible, Bastogne, Martelange and Houffalize getting the most points (hit F9 for details)
- mass 2 or 3 panzer divisions together and follow roads, hit hard,
- do not dilute your force along the whole front, hit at some choosen points,
- destroy as many units as possible but ... don't loose time, ever,
- don't try to achieve Elsenborn early on. Tempting target but you'll loose your precious time,
- south is of little importance for the Germans and you may give some early reinforcements to your opponent (see the little american flag near the objective tells you he has alert point)
- by turn 8 or 10, the Allies will be in a position to hit you. Be prepared by then for a defensive battle.

Now, you'll find more info in :
- Matrix BiN forum below,
- SSG BiN Forum

Et, si tu te sens plus à l'aise en français, tu pourras contacter des joueurs francophones expérimentés sur :
- Les forums de Net4War : section "Autres Wargames"
- Le site Campaigns France qui a un forum dédicacé aux jeux Matrix.

A+
