Historical Background Setup order

Lt Col. Ewell's column advanced along the frozen stream toward Neffe, when his column was suddenly fired on by a
machine gun breaking the silence of the early morning fog of December 19, 1944. The first burst did little damage to 1 x40
his 501st Parachute Infantry, but soon his entire force was engaged. It became obvious to Ewell that he would never
manage to take Neffe without reinforcements, so he ordered the 2nd and 3rd battalions forward. Major Sammie Homan 2 x15
and the 2nd battalion were ordered to take Bizory and then move on to Mageret to get behind the enemy lines in Neffe.
The 2nd battalion's advance, however, ended when it ran into German infantry dug in on Hill 510. To the south, the 3rd 3 x6
Battalion captured Mont, but instead of turning north to join the attack against Neffe, Lt Col. Griswold ordered his
forces to recon the woods to make sure the enemy would not out flank his force. A precious opportunity had just been 4 x2
lost...
