First game of Battle of the Bulge: position evaluation and strategic opinions.

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

Well, thank you all for the comments and I appreciate the good feedback. I have been looking into it more and will certainly be picking it up. Also, the fact that it is a two person game will be easier to find another available player. I am especially interested in the idea of supply tokens and only a set number of available reinforcements. It appears that Battle of the Bulge will certainly take a different skill set and ingenuity to play through than other A&A expansions. Thanks again.

You would have to land supplies at the beaches and move them to the front line units. Units would have to be able to move out of zones with other units. The whole “locked in combat” aspect of D-Day is not in keeping with most of the mechanics of BOTB.

those articles arent necessary …the rules have been on PDF since article 5.

relax guys, these are professionals, they know what they’re doing, for sure.  :lol:

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.
