Given the 3-0 previous outcome and single pre-existing AAR, this scenario turned out much closer than expected.

TheDoctor set up the hidden US initial dispositions until the SS moved within one hex. I also granted the Germans the 10-1-2 obersturmbannfuhrer to represent Peiper personally.

By game end, the Germans did get off the requisite five units (10 steps); one DIS; whereas the others were bogged down in assaults: the -1 col shift for defending in woods was a great boon to the US side (and a half-step Para held on for a distressing amount of time).

US lost three steps; Germans two.
