Bulge: The Battle for the Ardennes

Edición en inglés

"The Bulge" is a re-design/re-development of SPI's The Big Red One: The Game of the First Infantry Division at the Battle of the Bulge (1979) (subsequently rereleased as "The Big Red One" in 1980).

One of the most famous battles of World War II is re-created in this fast paced game. Bulge simulates Hitler’s desperate gamble to halt the Allied advance through the west by unleashing his powerful armored forces through the Ardennes. A scattered American force must hold back the panzers until sufficient reinforcements arrive.

Bulge captures the tense excitement of the German drive to capture vital bridges and road intersections. Using Bulge’s innovative game system, victory can occur for either player on any turn. With its combination of sophistication and playability, Bulge is a perfect introduction to the world of hobby wargaming and a challenge to novice and veteran gamers alike.

In addition to updating the rules, this version introduces new victory conditions, a shorter play time, and updated art on the 34"x22" map and 176 5/8" counters. The original counter set has been expanded and now offers players the choice of using either "classic" NATO symbology or a more modern iconic style.
