The following 8 modified mission briefings are included: Mission 1: Blutig St. Michaux Mission 2: Retreat through Chasoul Mission 3: Cold Morning in Belgium Mission 4: Fallschirmjager Mission 5: Fall Taschendieh Mission 6: Assault on Fortress Belgium Mission 7: To the Last Bullet Mission 8: Battle of the Ardennes Also included is a player aid sheet. This includes charts on German equipment/weapons cost, squad member cost, a special German weapons chart showing the ranges and kill ratios for flamethrowers, panzerbucshe, panzerfaust, explosives, mortars, and shaped charges. The player aid also includes a map of the conflict area and numbers corresponding to where each mission took place historically.
