MMP: Last Blitzkrieg Wacht am Rhein the Battle of the Bulge 16 - 31 December 1944 Boardgame Description

Last BlitzkriegA is the first entry in the new Battalion Combat Series (BCS) which simulates combat in World War II (and beyond) at the battalion scale. Its subject is the German Ardennes offensive Wacht Am Rhein (the Battle of the Bulge) on four detailed maps (at 1km per hex) and with 1680 counters. Last Blitzkrieg covers the battle in a level of detail rarely seen before and does so in a very playable manner. The BCS itself was designed to show that battalion level combat is its own subject being neither "small divisions" nor "large platoons". The results may surprise some players but will hopefully pique the interest of all and allow them to see many things they thought they already knew in a fresh light.Key Battalion Combat Series concepts include:ObjectivesRecon UnitsConcentrated Armor and SupportPrepared DefenseMSRs and Combat TrainsSet Piece Combats vs. Shock Attacks vs. EngagementsArtillery BarragesArtillery Asset PointsAttack by FireSNAFUActivation by FormationTraffic and CoordinationFatigueMemory MarkersA Last Blitzkrieg also adds:Bridge BlowingGreif TeamsWeatherTiger Maintenance WoesVoraus UnitsContents:Four 22" x 34" mapsSix countersheetsOne Battalion Combat Series rules bookletOne Last Blitzkrieg specific rulebookOne Battalion Combat Series Crib Notes bookletTwo Battalion Combat Series Charts and Tables bookletsTwo Last Blitzkrieg Charts and Tables bookletsOne box and lidTwo 6-sided dice
