In 1940, the Germans overran the unsuspecting French and in 1944, launched a surprise attack on American forces that later became known as the Battle of the Bulge. 4 comprehensively illustrated maps can be used separately for individual battles (St. Vith, Clervaux, Celles, and Sedan) or linked together to re-enact the entire campaigns of 1940 (Blitzkrieg to the Meuse) and 1944 (Battle of the Bulge). |

| Colourful cardboard playing pieces accurately reflect the size and strength of military units involved in these battles, march modes, blown bridges, improved positions, air power and supply. Their movement, position and engagement for battle are regulated by a superimposed hexagonal grid. Simple probability charts reveal each combat's outcome. Medium complexity and suitability for solitaire. Designed by Danny Parker. |
