Battles for the Ardennes
A collection of four linked tactical wargames set in the Ardennes campaign. Each scenario uses a single, detailed map that depicts local terrain in four colors and a set of historically styled playing pieces representing the opposing formations. Combat resolves with a dice-driven system and scenarios can be played individually or joined into two longer campaign games. The rulebook includes roughly ten pages of historical background on the engagements covered: St Vith, Clervaux, Celles and Sedan.
