From the publisher's website: KESTERNICH, BELGIUM, 14 December 1944: The First Battle for Kesternich took place from December 14 to 16, 1944. This battle pitted the 2nd Battalion of the 309th Infantry Regiment and the 2nd Battalion of the 310th Infantry Regiment of the 78th Infantry Division against units from the 272nd Volksgrenadier Division, including elements of the 326th Volksgrenadier Division. This attack was part of a greater attack by the First Army's V Corps in an effort to capture the Roer River Dams that included the 78th Infantry Division as well as the 2nd Infantry Division to the south. The attack by the 78th Division interrupted Hitler's plans for the northern shoulder of the Bulge. The recent release of Battle of the Twin Villages got your boots into the snow. Now you're going to have to slog forward, if you are the Volksgrenadier player .. or hold on ... if the Americans. Because the dates are 14-16 December 1944. And that means the height of ferocity of Hitler's last gamble, aka 'Wacht Am Rhein' has been unleashed. And every village, every road crossing, where a stand is made can make the difference between a drive to Antwerp, or a final, crushing blow to the tyrant's dreams as he hunkers in his lair. As all good tactical-level gamers know, the decision was always decided on the ground, at the sharp end ... by individual soldiers and squads.
