Axis & Allies: Battle of the Bulge is a historical war-themed board game depicting the Battle of the Bulge (December 1944), the last major offensive launched by Nazi Germany on the Western Front during World War II.
Two players take on the roles of Germany and the Allied forces (the United States and the United Kingdom combined) and face off on a hexagonal game board representing Belgium and parts of Germany.
The game relies heavily on historical factors such as weather conditions, logistical challenges, and key strategic objectives, offering a serious and in-depth portrayal of the conflict.

The game is distinctly tactical in nature and differs from the classic, more strategic titles in the Axis & Allies series.
Played over eight rounds, Germany aims to accumulate 24 victory points, while the Allies strive to prevent this from happening. Units may move and attack only if supply lines are maintained, placing strong emphasis on logistics. The hex-based grid allows for precise positioning of units such as infantry, tanks, artillery, trucks, and aircraft. Air combat appears only in the later rounds, simulating the historical impact of weather conditions on the battle. Combat is resolved using 12-sided dice, with casualties being partially randomized and not chosen by the defending player, further emphasizing the chaos of war.

Axis & Allies: Battle of the Bulge is a deep and tense tactical war game that, through its logistical focus, hex-based map, and historical weight, delivers an outstanding simulation of one of the decisive battles of World War II. 🪖⚔️
