You guys don't play weekly anymore?

Yes we do, every Friday night.

But last weekend was Easter and we made a pause so all members could enjoy the holiday with their families without worrying about strategies and the battle.

FHT Operation Greif , Based on the Malmedy map from TS4EVER
"Waffen-SS commando Otto Skorzeny had become one of Hitler's favorites following the success of "Operation Panzerfaust" in which he had supervised the kidnapping of Miklós Horthy, Jr., the son of Hungary's Regent. Skorzeny was to form a special brigade - Panzer Brigade 150 - for a very special purpose: "I want you to command a group of American and British troops and get them across the Meuse and seize one of the bridges. Not, my dear Skorzeny, real Americans or British. I want you to create special units wearing American and British uniforms. They will travel in captured Allied tanks. Think of the confusion you could cause! I envisage a whole string of false orders which will upset communications and attack morale." —Hitler, The Black Angels, 1979  "
