The Battle of the Bulge In December 1944 the German forces were supposed to be on the back foot, so their desperate push in the Ardennes took the Allies by surprise. Desperate defence by the American and British Commonwealth forces gradually turned to counterattack as they fought to erase the 'Bulge'.

Due to the haste of their departure from Mourmelon camp, there was a shortage of weapons among the men when the 101st Airborne arrived at Bastogne. Additional weapons were taken from retreating 28th Infantry Division soldiers and found discarded along the roads. Eventually, the platoons became fully equipped, but some Parachute Rifle Platoons entered combat without their full complement of weapons. With the best equipment going around including M1 Garand rifles, gammon bombs, light air cooled M1919A4 machine-guns, an M1 Bazooka, M2 60mm mortar, a smattering submachine-guns and a never say die attitude, these guys are ready to take on all comers.

Automatic Rifles The US Army is equipped with the M1 Garand self-loading rifle, M1 Carbine, and the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR), giving their infantry intense short-range firepower and allowing them to maintain their rate of fire while moving. Rifle and Carbine teams do not suffer the usual +1 to hit penalty for firing a ROF 1 weapon while moving or Pinned Down. When not Pinned Down, Rifle and Carbine teams re-roll all failed rolls to hit in Defensive Fire during assaults. |
