After storming the beaches in his D-Day series, and fresh from air landing in his Market-Garden series, designer Paul Koenig invites you to collect another World War II European Tour travel sticker, this time from the first 3½ days of the German 1944 winter offensive known as The Battle of the Bulge. In this first game of a new series, 6th Panzer Army takes you to the northern sector of this famous salient where Allied forces grimly confronted a winter onslaught by Hitler s vaunted Panzers in the rugged Ardennes Forest. As a player, you must command your German or Allied forces so as to capture the objectives on the board while keeping your casualties down (and your opponent s casualties high). Using a fresh take on the venerable wargaming system presented in the D-Day and Market-Garden series, Battle of the Bulge authority and game developer Randy Heller has brought Paul s system up in scale to handle the larger operations in this campaign and provides the great (but manageable!) gaming chrome that wargamers so enjoy when exploring history using a paper time machine like Paul Koenig s The Bulge: 6th Panzer Army. Game Data: Complexity: 4 on a 9 scale Solitaire Suitability: 7.5 on a 9 scale
