"Battered Bastards" help for Axis player

I am having a very hard time getting any kind of victory as the Axis in this scenario; the mech reinforcements can't get into Bastogne even though they appear directly on a main highway north of the city, and when I finally did get an entire German command into Bastogne from the East, I did so poorly that a German staff car was waiting to take me to Valhallah at game's end.

Any suggestions?

Ive got a personalised number plate on one of those staff cars the amount of times I've been in one.

Not had a go at Battered Bastards yet! But made a total mess of many others! tough but great fun!

When you figure it out, let me know. I got a marginal defeat. I didn't try to take Bastogne until KG Mauk arrived, and I tried to use KG 901 to try and stop the 4th AD. Didn't work.

I just try to delay the Allies advancing from the South, and I got the whole 901 into Bastogne on the last day, but to no avail as it was quickly surrounded.

I try to use a full court press around the city, but the Axis units to the North move only reluctantly, and the first units from the East into Bastogne were quickly cut-off and destroyed in detail; I was impressed how the AI came back into the city after being somewhat suckered to its periphery.

Especially since the VG divs are craptastic in comparison.
