DG: Bastogne, A Desperate Defense, Folio Board Game

Folio Games Series: Bastogne Product Code:DCG 1612 Package Info: The initial onslaught of the Germans' Ardennes offensive, in December 1944, overran numerous US positions all along the front line, though the Germans simply bypassed other stubbornly defended locations so as to maintain their momentum. The small town of Bastogne, however, with its strategically critical road junctions, became the lynchpin of the entire campaign. The Germans soon realized Bastogne had to be captured; so they set out to assault the outnumbered and surrounded American units there. The desperate defense of Bastogne, therefore, came to typify the entire Battle of the Bulge. Bastogne utilizes the new Fire &Movement combat system that's designed so players can augment their units with support fire during the course of the battle. - Product is for use in the Decision Games tabletop game Folio Games Series: Bastogne.
