Join us to commemorate the Battle of the Bulge, which ended January 25, 1945.
In December, 1944, the Germans launched a surprise offensive with half a million men, 1800 tanks, and 1900 artillery guns through the Ardennes region of Belgium, France, and Luxembourg.
The German forces punched through the allied lines and got approximately half way to Brussels before finally being pushed back. This is where the 101st Airborn made its stand at Bastogne, where Patton's 3rd US Army charged into bitterly cold winter battle, and where elite Panzer Armies under Generalfeldmarschall Gerd von Rundstedt made one of their last big pushes.
For America, it was the largest battle of WWII. For Germany, it was a waning hope for offensive operations in the west.

Today is the day -- the Battle of the Bulge.
We have two times. One for Europeans (8 pm UK time) and one for Americans (10 pm Eastern Time) in Special Events II Arena.
It runs for two hours, but you can show up for whatever portion of it you like. So, if you can't say late, you can play for a first portion. If you can't get there until later, you can join us when you show up.
All are welcome.
