Overview:
Despite the spirited push of the Germans in the foggy weather, the terrain itself has slowed their advance through Allied lines. US and UK battle groups have held critical crossings and supplies continue to arrive to the frontline unhindered by the German attacks.
As the weather clears and fresh reinforcements arrive, US forces must push back the Germans, who are now holding on to the Ardennes and break their backs in this decisive battle.
