Ardennes

**Ardennes** is a scenario in *Panzer Corps*.

## Briefings

Once again, the Ardennes Forest, Herr General. It was here, just a few short years ago, that our Panzers broke the Allied defenses and swept through the Low Countries and France. Now we must repeat this success in operation Wacht am Rhein! Your objective is to recapture key cities in France and Belgium, but for this operation to be an overwhelming victory, you must also secure Antwerp. Intelligence informs us this is a major Allied staging point, and capturing it will cripple their supplie lines throughout the Continent!

You have until January to accomplish your objectives, any longer and our surprise will be gone, our fuel reserves depleted, and Allied counter-attack assured. Drive your forces West, shatter their morale and seize their supplies! With a decisive victory, we may yet be able to negotiate a peace that saves the Fatherland, and us!

### Decisive victory

Masterfully done, Herr General!  Your counter-offensive against the Allied bulge caught your enemies completely by surprise, and has their war effort in disarray. This loss of Allied forces and equipment has caused a backlash against the governments in both the United States and Britain.  We even have reports of rioting taking place in protest of a continued war effort.

This civil unrest, coupled with your decimation of their armies on the Continent, has caused America and Britain to seek peace negotiations with Germany.  Although there are those who wish to continue the war, Germany and her people are exhausted. The prospect of finally achieving peace in Europe is all too tempting.  High Command has been convinced that peace is in the best interest of all Germany, and has ordered all hostilities to cease immediately.  It is time for us to go home to the new Greater Germany.
You have done well under my tutelage, Herr General. Congratulations on this victory!

#### If the Soviet Union wasn't defeated

A masterstroke, Herr General!  Your counter-offensive against the Allied bulge caught your enemies completely by surprise and laid waste to their forces. This loss of Allied forces and equipment has caused a backlash against the war in both the United States and Britain. We even have reports of rioting in protest at a continued war effort.  This has caused America and Britain to seek peace negotiations with Germany. Unfortunately, the war is not yet won.  The Russians, now alone against us, are pressing Westward at an alarming pace, and their offensive has formed into a dagger aimed at the heart of Germany!  To the East, Herr General!
### Victory

Although you have managed a powerful offensive that dazed our enemy, your actions have not proven to be the devastating blow we had hoped.  The Americans and British are already replenishing the losses you have inflicted upon them, and their air forces continue to mercilessly pound Germany’s factories and cities.  Thanks to your efforts, however, we managed to seize enough supplies to mount one final defence of our homeland.  You must now redeploy your forces immediately and prepare for our final stand in Berlin!

### Defeat

Herr General, now we are truly on the defensive. Any hope of turning the tide in the West is gone.  The unrelenting armies of America and Britain were barely dented by your offensive, and have since advanced onward to the very borders of Germany itself.  You must now redeploy whatever remains of your forces and prepare for our final stand in Berlin!
