Review: 1944 Battle of the Bulge from Worthington - The Players' Aid

[dsenebrecht]

I have played this game several times. Here is why I like it. 1. You can finish a game in 2 hours. 2. You can easily teach it to non-wargamers. 3. The Allies do not know which scenario card the German player has chosen which makes this game endlessly re-playable. 4. As the German player, you actually have a chance to cross the Meuse. 5. The mechanics are simple. 6. The step system means you don't have to have big stacks of units. 7. It captures the flavor of the overall battle. Germans start with a bang but every effing turn more US units keep showing up and they quickly start forming blocks at the key road junctions.

Really approachable fun game. Quite enjoyable and relaxing to solo i thought as well.

Another great video review, you guys are tremendous! I really like Worthington games, they're games you can pick off a shelf on the spur of the moment and play. Low rules overhead, fun and challenging, great physical game components. First rate game company!

Good review. The game looks inviting. It's all about meaningful choices!

I would love to see this kind of system used on a strategic level. Where you could play a campaign in a few days to a week.

"Dice in the Ardennes", but looks like good fun.

Thanks guys, game is almost at my doorstop. Regardless of my comment I am excited to play the game and appreciated your thoughts. Words are hard and I don’t have an easy way to offer feedback. When you say, nice “little” system, it comes off like its beneath you. The connotation is small and insignificant. I’m sure you don’t mean that, but its not really a complement. I believe I know what you really meant, just wish it was said instead.

Great review thank you. I'm torn between getting this one or the the recent Revolution Games The Deadly Woods which has a chit pull system, probably longer to play and a little more complex.
Any comments appreciated.

Excellent Review. Direct hit to my wallet again guys.

Don't suppose the 55, 000 Brits and Canadians who fought at the Bulge get a mention in the game?

Was disappointed that the Germans can win on turn 1. Attack Cervaux over run and off to Holland.

Not what I expected as far as combat goes. Will have to take a pass.
