Bastogne, 1944
The encirclement battle for the Bastogne crossroads
by Al Sandrik
TOAW IV conversion by Silvanski
::PO enabled::
18-26 December 1944
18 turns, each 1/2 day in length.
Each hex is about 0.8 Km which is about 1/3 the TOAW game scale.
However, from my readings due to the weather the battle was largely fought at close quarters and that includes artillery which sometimes fired point blank at the enemy. So I took a liberty with the game scale for this scenario the artillery may not have its full range, but I believe it works well.
Units are Battalion, with a few Company strength units.
There are no replacements!
Theater recon is low, 10%
