#16_06: 47th Panzer Korps_Alt - PzC 05 Bulge '44

West Wall, 0600, Dec 16th 1944:This is a "WHAT IF" scenario of the XLVII Panzer Korps' part in the Battle of the Bulge, play as Axis or PBEM. The conditions are close to what really happened, but some of the units involved have been adjusted, that is to say, some appear earlier, or later, than the actual historical events. There are also a few units from other Korps/Corps included. General der Panzertruppen Graf von Luttwitz' orders were to get across the Our and Clef Rivers as quickly as possible, to create the conditions for a westward advance. This included capturing Bastogne quickly, before advancing in a broad column, with 2nd Pz Division in the van with the Panzer Lehr Division slightly behind to the south, in order to seize the Meuse crossings at Dinant, Anseremme and Givet. If Bastogne proved difficult to take, it was to be bypassed and left to 62nd Volksgrenadier Division to clean up. [Size, large] Editor's notes: 2nd Panzer Division, PzGR 2 has been placed "on foot". If there was no bridge across the Our River then they could not have crossed unless they were on foot. This scenario was altered to allow German and SS panzer and panzer grenadier division as well as corps and army level pioneers to breakdown into companies. This allows more flexibility but still restricts other lower quality axis divisions.
