Short description
On 16 December 1944, under appalling weather conditions, the Germans launch their last major offensive in the West. Their goal: cut off the Allies from their sources of supply by taking Antwerp. To do so, they must break through the Ardennes salient, starting the battle of the Bulge…
About this game
SGS Battle of the Bulge is a game simulating the great World War II battle fought between the German army and the Allied forces - mainly American - in the months of December 1944 to January 1945. It covers the great German counter-offensive “Wacht am Rhein” (Guard on the Rhine), later renamed Herbstnebel (“Autumn Mist”), which began on December 16, as well as the Allied counter-offensive which began around Christmas and continued throughout January. As the German player , you have at your disposal the 5th and 6th Panzer armies, as well as the 7th Army, i.e. over twenty divisions, reinforced to the maximum of the German war economy and human reserves at the time. Your objective is to launch a vast surprise offensive, breaking through the thin American defensive lines in the Ardennes to seize key positions along the Meuse as quickly as possible, destroying as many Allied forces as possible before your meagre supply stocks run out. A real race against time! Such a result would already represent a major feat, destabilizing Allied plans in the West for several months to come. The final phase of Hitler's plan to capture the port of Antwerp appears totally unrealistic and is not represented in the game. Only the forces actually engaged in the battle are represented. The 15th Army covering the German right wing, as well as the American and British forces deployed in Holland and in the Aachen sector being represented only in the abstract. As an Allied player , your initial forces are meagre (essentially the four divisions of VIII Corps of General Bradley's 1st Army scattered over a 120-kilometer front), but reinforcements will soon arrive from everywhere, notably Patton's 3rd Army and the reinforced British XXX Corps sent by Montgomery. You must resist the initial German onslaught and delay its advance as long as possible while you gather your ground and air forces. Then you can move on to the counter-attack. The final objective of the campaign is to recapture all the lost ground and return to the initial situation, or even, if possible, to drive a wedge into the fortified line of the Westwall defending the Reich's western borders to achieve a major victory. The Scen…
