Close Combat IV: Battle of the Bulge

Brand New

Factory Sealed Retail Jewel Case

US soldiers stationed in the Ardennes went to bed without fear. Crushing German losses along the eastern and western fronts had reduced the powerful German war machine to a shadow of its former self. Europe had been largely liberated and Germany was now fighting on its own soil. The Ardennes forest was thickly wooded, making large -scale military maneuvers difficult. Nobody seriously believed that Germany could ever muster the forces for another offensive in any case.

The Germans thought differently.

At 5:30 A.M. on December 16th, the Germans launched a massive attack that caught the Allies completely by surprise . Over 250,000 German troops, well supported by armor and artillery, poured into the region. American troops, unprepared and vastly outnumbered, were pushed back and a massive pocket was formed in the Allied lines: The Bulge .

You now take control of one side of this battle. As the Germans you must push forward and try to break past the Allied defenses. As the Allies your job is to contain the Germans and hold out for the reinforcements that will allow you to strike back. In either case the war will be fought your way.
