I can see on the map of "The 5th Panzer Army Attacks the 28th Infantry Division 16-19 December 1944" (which map I am not yet allowed to post, as I have too few posts to have permission to add attachments or links) that the 116th split up at Trois Vierges, with one segment heading towards Gouvy and the other towards Bertogne (then splitting again towards the road to Ortho and also towards the road that would allow crossing at Ortheuville). I only mentioned the path towards Houffalize since both they and the 560th VG managed to cross the river there by 19th Dec.
As I said I'm playing the Tiller Battle of the Bulge game (inspired by this game's announced release) and - starting on the 16th - I am following the historical 116th division's attacks in the Lutzkampen region. While I am ready to shift to crossing the Our further south if I am unsuccessful through 17th Dec (as happened historically). It appears I may have more success than the 116th actually did, and so instead of having to cross on their southern neighbor's corps crossing at Dasburg, I may be able to deviate from history in this regard.
However, the 116th Panzer Division DC:Ardennes scenario starting at Heinersheid after they crossed the Our is the perfect place to begin their journey (if not, then as with my current John Tiller game it may make more sense to drive west from a more northerly location; should they cross the Our River there). Where they cross the Ourthe after that is undetermined, and may very well vary with different play-throughs.
