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.

Axis and allies battle of the bulge coming out November!!!!
-
1: Will the armored strengths be appropriate in the Bulge scenario? The OOB for D-Day was way out of proportion in the German favor. I understand play balancing, but if you had given Rommel that much armored support, we’d be discussing the Western Armistice of 1944 in history classes.
2: Canadian units is a good start, but can we have some Free Polish Forces? Or, would there be a Free Forces expansion separate?
3: If there is no F-6F in the Contested Skies set I will be very upset.

Recommend that Moderators set up a new Battle of the Bulge topic on the main menu in preparation for the new game and to accommodate all of the posts leading up to it…
-
Will do. Eventually. Bad head cold right now. Feels like crap. Can’t find NBC for the Olympics for some reason. Lots of Nyquil.
-
Where exactly did you find this out? Links!! Post some links plz! Must see this new game. :-D

: Canadian units is a good start, but can we have some Free Polish Forces? Or, would there be a Free Forces expansion separate?
These units didnt have any part in Bulge… I sent larry his OOB so that D-day thing wont happen again…
I suspect you will see the following units:
- Me-109 ( new fighter plane)
- Mechanised Infantry ( represented by halftracks)
- P-47/51 Mustang plane for allies ( new plane for USA)
- Tiger Tank unit
This is a 3 player game ( USA, UK, German) with some 300 pieces, so expect something like d-day with cards except cards are not for gameplay, but rather random events. I would like to see the germans played by two players…even 3 (representing 6th SS panzer, 5th panzer and 7th army).
This is my estimate given current conditions at this time.
-
I assume there will be a fixed and/or random weather chart, since the overcast weather early in the campaign was of major help to the Germans.
-
I hope so… both the “fixed” and variable would be nice.
-
Yeah give me a link so I can stickey it :)

I guess use this for now… its the direct link to the creator:

I didn’t know there were two Minis Expansions coming out this year… Time to set aside 500 more dollars… :lol:
-
This sounds awesome to me!!!
And i like the idea that somebody on this had about splitting the German forces into divisions, to allow for more players, that would be awesome in my opinion. -
To add to the questions of weather and other strategic factors, I assume there will also be some mechanism to represent the limited fuel supplies the Germans were working with in this campaign?
-
That would be a must. I want to see the 3 german armies split into 3 players and the american army led by hodges and patton done the same way. The british could be a 6th player… Im sure the problems of fuel, time , ammo will be addressed in the game. I can gaurantee the OOB is correct however. I sent Larry this information and i checked it 4 times over.
-
Cool, Ive always been looking forward to individual battle games. This is a great start, I cant wait!!! :-D
-
You know what sounds cool to me right now, a Stalingrad game like that, because with D-day and now Battle of the Bulge, it would be cool to get a splash of Eastern Front in there :)

It sounds like he is doing Guadalcanal first, but we can always pressure him to do more…
-
Guadalcanal? That’s king! I hope Edson’s Raiders get in there as a unit.
-
I just hope this is better than D-Day…
-
I take it that D-Day wasn’t that good? It allways seemed to me that Axis and Allies should be a grand scale game not individual battles. That’s why I thought that Europe and Pacific would be the end of the series. But then, if it make money… :wink:
-
D-Day was good… It was great for teaching the AaA concept to other guys that hadn’t played and it also played fast… It can be predictable after a while though, depending on whether you use Fortunes and/or Tactics or not…
