About This Game Set during what the historian Antony Beevor called "Hitler's Last Gamble", Battle of the Bulge provides an immersive experience on a tactical/operational level, putting the player in command of the Allies or the German forces fighting each other in several scenarios in one of the most brutal and wild environments of Western Europe: the snow-covered forest of the Ardennes!Command infantry, mechanized and armoured units in hard fights through the various phases of the offensive, taking into account the nature of the terrain and its effects on the assailants and defenders.You don't only have to face a direct military confrontation, you have to learn how to manage your supply routes, being careful not to rely on easy solutions! A quick breakthrough into enemy lines could lead your units being isolated with a high risk of being outflanked by enemy counterattacks!Time will be another factor not to underestimate. In Battle of the Bulge, scenarios have a time limit with several "semi-historical" events affecting your conduct of operations in different ways.Take control of iconic elite units on both sides, such as the 101 Airborne Division or the Kampf Gruppe Peiper, and replace the losses on the hottest spots of the frontline!Challenge Bradley, Dietrich, von Rundstedt and other historical commanders with an ad hoc re-written AI -each with different play styles to choose!Alternatively try to outsmart your friends - whatever their favourite gaming platform - in simple multiplayer encounters or test your skills with the new Tournament feature, providing infinite replay value to the game!New Features from the 2015 versionNew multiplayer system (Slitherine's PBEM) supporting: cross-platform (PC/IOS/Mac), paired matches, private matches and tournamentsRe-written AI for both sides (Allies and Axis).

It doesn't hold good ground, it has no idea how to buy time or build for a counterattack, and on the attack it has no idea how to prosecute an offensive. Choosing the Axis side in 'Bitter End' should be brutally hard, but by singlemindedly advancing on Verviers, Liege and Namur you can permanently cripple the Allies through squatting their reinforcement zones (don't forget to send one of your weaker mechanised divs to capture Arlon and shut down their southern reinforcements as well). Playing the Allies, the AI German strike is poorly focussed and easily stymied - and they will respond to your buildup of force on their flanks in no way at all.- The map's tiny.- Axis, 'Bitter End': from 24th December on the game processes every other day as 'Two consecutive passes, day over' without actually giving you a chance to move.- The premise of the game (area activation of units) promotes force concentration over dispersal to far too great a degree.- Too much is left to the clock - time advances with little relation to what's happening on the map.- Various graphical and interface bugs (sudden shaking, erroneous popups) should really have been ironed out before release.. Not an awfully bad game, but too limited in my opinion.- only three unit types- pincer moves are not possible, since you can only "activate" one sector at a time; - flanking movements are pretty useless, since enemies don't care about being threatened from the rear or flanks, unless a supply line is in danger- tactical retreats are not possible; once in a contested sector, you are forced to duke it out, sometimes for several turns on end, so your units could be stuck there for the rest of the game- strict time limit, no possibility to switch off the timer that ends the game- they say the A.I. is smart, but I cannot confirm that beyond doubt;When playing the Allies, the A.I. set up a good defense, but when I shifted sides and let the A.I. play the attacking Germans, it didn't go all that well. The German A.I. started off good, but once I blocked every possible route of advance, the A.I. didn't know what to do anymore. It started moving around units without purpose, moving them to one place and then moving them back again. At first it seemed like some sort of a plan to prepare a breakthrough, but nothing like that happened. I waited for an attack to happen, passing every turn to him, but the A.I. wouldn't engage, wouldn't attack anymore, and kept shifting units up and down the line without any apparent plan or idea what to do. After minutes of fooling around, the game finally crashed, saving the A.I. a humiliating defeat. - It also looks like they made the Bastogne sector A.I. especially resilient against german attacks; no matter how overwhelming the odds, somehow the attacking Germans in the Bastogne sector always seem to miss their targets, making the defenders turn out extremely tough. "American heroism" is probably the best explanation for this phenomenon.there are some positive points, like nice graphics, easy-to-understand game mechanics, and effective menus, but still not enough to really recommend this game. Recommended as an enjoyable strategy game, that retains the strategic and historical depth of much more expensive wargames, while being very approachable and fun to play. Given the quality and the price, I would rate this a must buy for wargamers, history buffs or anyone who enjoys a fun and challenging diversion that might actually teach you a little something into the bargain :). This is a review for game called Battle of Bulge.If you know history, you can easily understand that this game covers last major push of Germany in WW2. The Ardennes, 1944 December. Game lets you play for Allies or Germans. Like in Drive on Moscow there are 5 scenarios covering all battle of episodes of it. This game lets you select even wider range of opponents. If you play vs Allies there are: Montgomery, Patton and Bradley, and if you play vs Germans: Von Rundstedt, Dietrich and Von Manteuffel. Selecting generals means that they can attack or defend differently. This is a great game that is easy to learn and doesnt take much time to understand it. Great strategy game, and on sale its better to buy it with Drive on Moscow, two great games in the same bundle! Only bad things are that "luck" factor can sometimes be weird and some achievements are bugged. But its only few problems in great game.. It would be nice if there was a way to acknowledge the victory notification and then go back and review the map and units. As I see it now, it preety much locks down the game and I can only go to "main menu".Otherwise, this game is well worth the money. The system works pretty well. I will play against the comuter, or solitaire, using the hot seat option.I would love to see the old "Ardennes Offensive" computer game on Steam, but given that is not available, BoTB is good option.. I've had a great time playing it against a friend. It's a cool little game. The design is pretty slick and elegant, nothing fancy.. I like it. But please take a little time to understand the game.If you just jump in and start moving units frustration builds quickly.You really need to read the user guide before you make up your mind.Buy it, read the guide, play the first scenario, switch sides, play again (see how the computer plays against you).That sold me on the game. It's a game, not a simulation. Enjoy it as a game.If you still don't like it, you will be within the limits for a refund.Again, it uses a different system so don't use the same approach you do with other wargames.It is abstract but that is necessary given the scale and play time intended.You do need to think a few moves ahead, which is good.Activate an area, move the units from that area you chose, engage in battle when the enemy shares the area in which you end your move.So... you must plan ahead to ensure the area you activate has the units you need (which you achieve by previous activations and movement).The concerns about "realism" are overblown. Choices were made. It's a game. Play the game.If you read the guide the choices are easier to accept (unless you are just looking for reasons to fuss).Replayability depends on how much you leverage the options. Change sides, change commander style, etc.I got it half off and find it worth that price.. Nice simple game. Old school area movement boardgame feel.
