Context
December 1944 - Belgian Ardennes
As the allied forces in western Europe are slowing down their progress to rest after a 6 months long offensive through France to the Ardennes, German elite troops are massing at the Belgian border for a counter offensive. They hope that the effect of surprise will allow them to break through the allied frontline and reach various fuel depots accross Belgium.
A part of the German offensive relies on the quick defeat of the american troops stationned in and around St Vith, a small Belgian town which constitutes a crossroad towards Liège and bridges accross the Meuse river.
The Germans have planned to launch the attack early in the morning, crashing through the fog and the american lines with artillery and armour.

Important notes
- The main goal of the Germans is to be fast and effective. The Americans, on the other hand, are doing everything they can to delay them.
- The only way to capture a town is to raise the flag of your side instead of the other side. You can do this by interacting with the flagpole you will find in the center of the town. Green circle on the map means the US are controlling the area, Blue means the Germans are in control. For Schoenburg and Amel, the change cannot be reverted. Meaning that once the Germans have captured the town, it cannot be contested again by the US Forces. However, St Vith can always be retaken.
- The US Forces have three spawns : MAIN, NORTH, and SOUTH. The Main forces are all squads under the Commander of the US Forces and himself. The squads spawning North and South are also under their platoon leaders.
- For the sake of balance, I chose to give the Germans more semi-automatic rifles than they actually had at the time of the battle. That is because, in my experience, bolt action rifle against semi automatic and automatic rifle render the game unbalanced and prevent a fair fight
- YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO STEAL AI EQUIPMENT. DOING SO WILL RESULT IN INSTANT KICK FROM THE SERVER WITH NO POSSIBILITY TO COME BACK.
