GERMAN TANKS since dawn have been thrusting into allied lines at points over a 60-mile front from the River Roer to Luxembourg. It seems the Germans have decided to launch a counter-offensive of some considerable strength. They are throwing in a fresh division of infantry, and these men, with the tanks, have overrun a number of villages and made several wedges on the Belgian-German and Luxembourg German borders. The Germans are pressing forward fanatically with an order of the day from von Rundstedt saying: "Now is the time for the German Army to strike. Give your all in one last effort. Everything is at stake" * Realistic sound effects * One or two players/Save Game function * German Saboteurs/Siegfried Line * Artillery Supply/Terrain effects * V-2 Rocket attacks
