A Coy of the 1st Battalion 110th is not set up on the map??? It should be set up at Heinerscheid, per Cole's map. Was there a reason??
A Coy was left out during scenario development because Heinerscheid is so close to the map edge and was really out of the German zone of attack. Also, the US player would be tempted to use them ahistorically against the German AI.
Company A dissolved by the afternoon of the 16th and no real effect on the 1st day events So I thought it best to just leave them out.

I also read in either Time for Trumpets or Bitter Woods that A coy did send a strong patrol south but was repulsed. I think they were run over by 116th PD ... at least the PD's infantry. I know 116th motor and mech went south and followed 2nd PD out. So I might change my scenario to a platoon size unit, the books said it was a strong patrol.
