The Battle of the Bulge was Nazi Germany's last great offensive in World War II and Hitler's last gamble to win the war. The Battle of the Bulge started out with a huge German offensive across Luxembourg, Belgium and the Ardennes forest. Germany pushed almost 50 miles into the American lines over a course of several days, from December 16 to December 23. When the skies cleared over the Ardennes, American air power was able to decimate the German forces which had no air support of their own. By the 25 of January, 1945 the Battle of the Bulge had come to an end.

The player's unit has been ordered to take out two bunkers and gather what intelligence they can from the bunkers. Pvt. Martin clears both bunkers, retrieving several documents from each bunker. After acquiring the documents, two Panzer IV tanks and a multitude of Wehrmacht infantry come over a ridge and attack the player. Pvt. Martin uses the several Flak 88s and Panzerfausts to destroy the two tanks, before his squad kills the remaining infantry. The mission ends with Captain Foley congratulating Martin on his actions and ends stating, "I can hardly believe, it's over."
