If you do WWII - this is the event you have been waiting for! If you've never done WWII - this is the event to start!! This will be the 4th Battle of the Bulge event hosted by Battlesim.com and we think it is going to be the best one yet! Registration will open in early November.

Set at the closing of the Bulge, Allied units will have their hands full trying to open up lines defended by pockets of German units. By 15 January, Seventh Army’s VI Corps was fighting on three sides in Alsace. With casualties mounting, and running short on replacements, tanks, ammunition, and supplies, Seventh Army was forced to withdraw to defensive positions on the south bank of the Moder River.

The temperature during January 1945 was extremely low. Trucks had to be run every half hour or the oil in them would freeze, and weapons would freeze. The offensive went forward regardless!

Same organization that put on the event here: viewtopic.php?f=43&t=7638

A bunch of reenactors (blank fire) will be there as well, not sure yet if it will be a combination blank fire/airsoft event but I imagine it will be.
