ATS HUERTGEN HELL is a detailed historical module
that tells the story of the Battle of the Huertgen Forest with
a broad sweep, and detailed historical map. The presentation is
a large as the battle was ... in terms of importance to Allied
hopes to be ‘home for Christmas’ ... 1944. Those hopes
were dashed by bitter German resistance in the dark, dank wooded
hills and villages around the Kall River. Names like Kommerscheidt,
Vossenack, and Germeter, not to mention the infamous Kall Trail
... ring out in the history of the battle. Every one of those
places is depicted, and more, allowing the tactical-level gamer
to contest every inch, or pull back and await reinforcements ...
or lay in a mortar barrage ... or stand pat and await new orders.
Whatever was possible to local commanders is in YOUR hands as
you re-make history in minute detail.
The map presentation is extensive, providing almost a dozen square
feet of gaming area with evocative terrain artwork by a professional
military illustrator What’s more, when combined with OBJECTIVE
SCHMIDT, ATS HUERTGEN HELL creates another CH monster battlefield
measuring some six feet in length ... there just has never been
anything like it. You’ll be able to gaze across the expanse
of the battlefield on both sides of the Kall River, including
multiple villages, hundreds of terrain features. And yet, many
scenarios play on portions of the overall map area, making the
module easy to dive into and get your dice rolling without delay.
The module includes two sheets of 176 5/8” die-cut German
and American Personnel and Weapon
counters, plus a sheet of 108 AFV/VEHICLES in 3/4” size,
a total of 460 counters in all—everything you need to play
(just bring your standard ATS markers). You also receive 10 scenarios
(all playable on the map provided) in color format, and color
Battlefield WalkaroundTM special rules in 3-hole format. Please
allow 4-6 weeks for delivery. THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE GAME! Ownership

and large marker counters is required (plus one or more 10-sided
dice).
