Wacht Am Rhein

A grand-tactical simulation of the Battle of the Bulge, covering the German offensive and Allied defense across four detailed maps of the Ardennes. More than 2,380 counters represent infantry, armor, artillery, engineers, reconnaissance, airborne and headquarters units at company and battalion scale. Six smaller scenarios use individual map sections, while the campaign spans three weeks and 50 turns as German forces race toward the Meuse against growing Allied infantry, armor and air power. Supply, weather, air support, artillery, exploitation, vantage points and constricted terrain shape movement and combat.
