The Big Red One: The Game of the First Infantry Division at the Battle of the Bulge
A divisional-scale board wargame covering the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes in 1944. The German player attempts to break through American lines and move units off the western and northwestern map edges, while supply lines are disrupted by control of bridge hex-sides and nearby units. Victory points are assessed at the end of each turn. If the German victory conditions are not met, play continues.
