Hi Olivero

It would be easier to read if you add some paragraph/spaces between sentences, so it’s not just a big wall of text.

It’s hard to read otherwise.

So the axis almost pulled it off. Lost Verviers last turn. Allies just stayed in the other 2 stacks. Could roll them out to see if they get control for the heck of it.

Second play of Battle of The Bulge.

Not sure how I feel about this one. I finally think I understand 98% of the rules but it’s so situational on things that can apply.

Overall the game is fun with some cool mechanics like the order of casualties in battle. And the supply aspect adds a level of interest. It does appear to be very balanced if you manage recourses properly for the Germans.

But it’s so different with a poorly written manual it took me a few reads of the manual and watching a bunch of YouTube videos and 2 play throughs to get it down.

Overall fun but not worth the effort

5/10 for this game

ok so it got here today. I’m re-reading the rule book and things are looking good. I’m answering my own questions at this point. Things I could never figure out I’m finding the answer to and understanding the rules. I think my hang up before was the title Axis and Allies and the combat system is nothing like it.

Would you reccomend A&A Battle of the Bulge to a fellow A&A Player?

@PhilFromIT:

I just pick this up last week and after about 5 games I can say yes. I would warn them however that playing the Allies takes a lot of tactics and maneuvering!

-Phil

There definitely is a learning curve for the allies.

Appears I’ve just suffered a checkmate myself! :x

That rule about enemy-owned cities escaped my eye.

(Guess I did a lot of math for nothing.)

End of thread. :wink:

You can but it has not been playtested with the map. The ideas have been playtested and they work very well in other games. I am working on changes on the air power thing because its not historical. Both sides had limited air power for each day of the campaign and i plan on spreading out the pain of allied 3/9 planes for the last 4 turns of the game , while i feel many games will progress with the statement " if the germans dont get far by turn 4 they should resign" I want to take the same number of air allocations but spread them out over all the turns ( except no allied air allocations on turn one).

So what im saying it go ahead and post but let me email a better version first to you with these new changes. Ill have it by tomorrow.

No I just think that if they did have Peiper in a game they should also have Meyer or Wunsche or dozens of others.
It’s not necessary though. There will be plenty of other ways to rethink the battle.
