ATS BATTLE OF THE BULGE: HOLD AT ALL COSTS is a detailed ATS module that depicts the desperate stand to hold the Germans off on the outskirts of Bastogne. The die was cast for a showdown at Bastogne by 1400 hours on December 18, 1944. That was when one of two blocking positions behind the 28th Division on the St. Vith-Bastogne road, this held by Task Force Rose, was overrun. The other, situated along the Wiltz-Bastogne road and held by Task Force Hayze, was overrun during the night of December 18-19. With their successes, German units at the tip of the “Rundstedt Offensive” spear were within three kilometers of the critical radial highway net at Bastogne. By holding here the American VIII Corps could thwart German aims to strike west to the line of the Meuse River.
