Historical Background
On December 23, Kampfgruppe 'Krag" was already in control of the village of Salmchâteau when Task Force 'Jones' 10 x5
approached along the steep-sided Salm valley. The column of American tanks and infantry were spread out along the
road when Krag unleashed an attack. There was limited room for Jones to deploy and bring forward any units. To make
matters worse, Panthers of the Führer Begleit Brigade were moving forward out of Cierreux. Both German forces
converged on Jones' column. Total victory eluded them though: Some American units escaped west, while the men and 11 x6
guns of the 440th Armored Field Artillery fled to safety through the hills to Vielsalm.
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.
