I've already searched in google for the participating armor and AC in the area. Can you give me the list of tanks and aircrafts that were there? A company asked me to work on a very huge diorama. Disregard the unit and squadron numbers.

AFAIK From the game Battlefield 1942, there is an M-10. Probably there really is one.

There were definitely M-10s in the Ardennes. Also M-36 and M-18s. US half tracks, duece and a half etc. 76mm shermans recently introduced in some untis. Some still had 75mm.
The krauts had SD.Kfz 250 and 251 variants. Also, JagdPanther vehicles. Late Panthers (A,G)....

Hmmmm.... that means more tank rolling up my stash. How about AC's and stationary weapons such as Flak 88s and Paks?

almost any vehicle or towed gun in the US and german inventories would be there,

the battle was fought over quite a wide front and involved lots of different units.

also a significant number of british (and possibly CW) troops were involved in the battle, particularly in assisting pattons troops drive back the germans

ive got a picture of a churchill passing a valentine MKx111 somewhere in the bulge

cheers

The Axis also had plenty of SP Flak. 3.7cm and 20mm. I am guessing Mobelwagon and the 20mm Wirbelwind. Also the The Flakwagons.

I have a pic where there is a 3.8cm Mobelwagen way in the background. No details are visible other than identifying to as a Mobelwagen.
