Bulge: The Battle for the Ardennes

Bulge: The Battle for the Ardennes is a fast-playing World War II board wargame from Decision Games covering the German Ardennes offensive of December 1944 to January 1945. Hitler’s last major offensive in the West sends powerful German armored forces through the Ardennes, while scattered American units must delay the attack until reinforcements can arrive.

Designed as an accessible introduction to hobby wargaming, Bulge combines low complexity with tense operational choices. The German player races to seize key bridges and road junctions, while the Allied player must manage a thin defensive line, buy time, and blunt the offensive before it can break through.

Contents include: one 17×22 inch game map, 100 half-inch counters, one player aid card, one six-sided die, rules booklet, and storage bags.
