Enemy Action: Ardennes

A card-driven wargame that simulates the German offensive in the Ardennes, December 1944. Players command regimental to divisional formations on an oversized hex map (2.5 miles per hex), conducting movement, assaults, and support actions over daily turns made up of alternating player impulses. Cards serve multiple functions: activating formations, triggering command events, or providing artillery and other tactical effects. Combat uses a combat-chit draw system rather than dice or tables, with players selecting chits to shape each engagement. The game supports two-player play and solitaire play with AI systems that control either side.

Solitario operacional que funciona!. No me acaba de convencer el sistema de combate por chits, pero cumple su función.
