October 15th, 1944*
What is left of Wuerselen*
*
Yesterday the 1st Battalion took over the offensive, but just like us they made only small gains for significant losses. Worse, they had to give up some of the won ground to a German counter attack in the evening.* 
Today we will continue the fight. The enemy still holds most of the town, but the fighting of the last days has attrited their forces significantly as well.
*
*
Objectives: *
Deploy your core force between the indicated lines in the area of Wuerselen North and / or the mine.*
Take the rest of Wuerselen and the road south to close the pocket.*
*
*
Enemy: The town is still held by the 60th Panzergrenadier Regiment, although their numbers have dwindled.
 German artillery also seems to be running out of ammunition to a degree. Don't underestimate it though.
 The Germans still assign great importance to their "air hose" to Aachen, so expect furious counter attacks from reserve units.*

*
Most of 2nd Armored Division's armor has been lost or is in repair shops, but a platoon worth of Shermans are still attached to our regiment.
 In order to finally break the Germans' back, all available artillery assets have been pooled together for a big opening barrage. The air force also stands at the ready for dive bombing missions.

This is the last attempt to take Wuerselen. After this day, you will be returned to 29th Infantry for rest and refit.
