Ardennes '44 covers the period from December 16th to the 26th. Two shorter one-map scenarios are included which cover the initial stages of the German attack. The Ardennes '44 game system is designed by Mark Simonitch, winner of the CSR James F. Dunnigan Award for Design Elegance and Best WWII Board Game of 2000 for Ukraine '43.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe result is Ardennes '44, a game that both the \"Bulge enthusiast\" and the casual player will enjoy. German attacks follow historical advance routes, and the Bastogne and St. Vith defense perimeters are often as large as they were historically (instead of one big stack of units in the town itself). The Allied player has a chance at holding Elsenborn Ridge and making the Germans pay dearly for the twin villages of Rockerath and Krinkelt. Likewise, the German player has an equal chance of changing history and reaching the Meuse River.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTime scale: 12 hours per turn\n\u003cbr\u003eMap scale: 1.6 miles per hex\n\u003cbr\u003eUnit scale: Regimental-level including battalions for tank units and some infantry battalions\n\u003cbr\u003ePlayers: 1 or 2\n\u003cbr\u003eSpecial features: »Night Turns »Tank Destroyers »Weather »Air Supply »Determined Attack\/Defense Options »Traffic Jams \u0026amp; Roadblocks »Bridge Demolition\/Construction »Disengagement »Armor ratings »Corps level artillery »von Der Heydte's parachute battalion »Skorzeny's 150th Panzer Brigade\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nCOMPONENTS: 570 Full-color 9\/16\" Counters; Two Map Sheets (total size 30” x 37”); One 40 Page Rulebook\/Playbook (with examples of play and designer's notes); Two Player Aid Cards; One Quick-start Setup Display; Two 6-sided Dice.","brand":"Little Big Wars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52409989693749,"sku":"GMT 0304-25","price":61.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/8783\/5198\/files\/gmt_200304-25-image1.png?v=1772830745","url":"https:\/\/littlebigwars.com\/products\/gmt-games-ardennes-44-the-battle-of-the-bulge-4th-edition","provider":"Little Big Wars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
