Um, the attacks through the Ardennes were limited to
roads.	That terrain sucks ASS.  What was surprising
to the French was that they managed to shove so many
tanks through such a crummy road net.  Oh, and that
the Germans didn't forget everything they learned in 4
years of bloodletting and charge headlong into fixed
fortifications.
