Alert! Massive German surprise counterattack in the Ardennes forest of eastern Belgium and Luxembourg. American infantry divisions are being overrun by panzers. Ground and air support is urgently needed.
The weather was too bad yesterday for combat operations. Visibility remains poor today, but it is just good enough for you to fly a fighter sweep to clear the skies of German fighter-bombers over the battlefield.
Your airbase has moved from England to Northern France and you will have correspondingly shorter flying routes to the combat area. You have eight P-47D-35 Thunderbolt fighter-bombers under your command.
