About Battle of the Bulge
Set during what the historian Antony Beevor called "Hitler's Last Gamble", Battle of the Bulge provides an immersive experience on a tactical/operational level, putting the player in command of the Allies or the German forces fighting each other in several scenarios in one of the most brutal and wild environments of Western Europe: the snow-covered forest of the Ardennes!
Command infantry, mechanized and armoured units in hard fights through the various phases of the offensive, taking into account the nature of the terrain and its effects on the assailants and defenders.
You don't only have to face a direct military confrontation, you have to learn how to manage your supply routes, being careful not to rely on easy solutions! A quick breakthrough into enemy lines could lead your units being isolated with a high risk of being outflanked by enemy counterattacks!
Time will be another factor not to underestimate. In Battle of the Bulge, scenarios have a time limit with several "semi-historical" events affecting your conduct of operations in different ways.
Take control of iconic elite units on both sides, such as the 101 Airborne Division or the Kampf Gruppe Peiper, and replace the losses on the hottest spots of the frontline!
Challenge Bradley, Dietrich, von Rundstedt and other historical commanders with an ad hoc re-written AI -each with different play styles to choose!
Alternatively try to outsmart your friends - whatever their favourite gaming platform - in simple multiplayer encounters or test your skills with the new Tournament feature, providing infinite replay value to the game!

Great gateway Wargame as many have said easy enough to get into but hard enough to master! This was my first entrance into Matrix/Slitherine Tournaments,so memorable for me....and No i didnt win! :( (connection problems can you belive it!)3 found this helpful
Don't let the simple presentation fool you, it has real depth once you dig in. The map is genuinely great, and I love that each day comes with a little history lesson, so you're learning the actual context of the battle as you play, not just moving counters around. Using the real historical units adds a nice layer of authenticity too. Once again it helps give you a good feel for the actual battle. The Steam achievements are a fun bonus goal to chase alongside the main campaign; gives you a reason to replay and try different approaches. A number of other hex strategy games don't which I think is a shame.(Looking at you Decisive Campaign Ardennes Offensive) Only gripe is the asking price feels a touch high for what it i. I'd say wait for a sale if you're on the fence. But if you're into WWII strategy games and want something that's easy to pick up but rewards deeper study, this delivers.
Wasnt the game i thought it was. Iwas getting mixed up with compass games version. Its a pretty simple game. Probaly a mobile game i think. Not a great deal of depth to it. Not worth the price.
hidden gem type ♥♥♥♥
Nice little Turn base strategy game.
Does not Start. No error / just does not work. do not waste your money with this publisher.
