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.
This and your Part 2 were an excellent introduction to what will be my first hex and counter wargame. I also liked your Wir Sind Das Volk introduction. Keep up the good work!
Gosh! Hundreds of Bulge games. Some are multi-map, multi-weekend affairs. And some are very different - like this one for instance. What is your favourite Bulge game? Please take a peek at the video and then let me know below! Thanks all 👍
Do I need ANOTHER Bulge game? Having seen your introduction, the answer is a resounding YES!!! :) Thanks so much for a brilliantly enthusiastic explanation :)
I have this game. The simplification makes it very playable but the trade-off is that It become a bit generic in the end and without as much flavor as one could hope for. But playable, certainly.
Worthington boxed games are indeed high quality for the price and they fall on that right spot for manageable time commitment with enough pleasing command and control decision making to be able to play a game in a couple of hours, give or take having to teach someone new. Okay, have to watch the entire length of this and then make a final comment ! ( and finish WL part 3 ! i'm 15 mins out )
@@soloboardgaming Well, you've surely said it during the video !!! I must confess that your overviews are worth 1000x any unboxing. They show the components and also already have a formed opinion after a few plays.
@@soloboardgaming Your vid made me interested to look at some others and I saw there are some errata though. Apparently there's an Infantry counter that shows armoured on its flipside...?
Appreciate you stopping by Hissy, thanks! Well, please don't follow me, I'm no leader thats for sure! But I picked a scenario that had a 'sudden death' condition that the Germans met unexpectedly!😲

Oooh, tough choice. I'd say it's tied between 'Nuts!' the card game and GMT' 'Tigers In The Mist' :)
@@andrewchoong2895 Ah, I'd forgotten Tigers in the Mist!
I really like this game. I also like The Deadly Woods and Winter Thunder
This is a great game. One of my favorite Bulge titles.

Really appreciate you checking in Andrew! I'm enjoying this one a lot!
Really glad to hear it. I'm looking forward to watching your next video on it, but yes, I have just ordered this one 😂
@@andrewchoong2895 Oh thats so cool!😎
Superb overview! I feel like the game just oozes playability, so we’ll explained. I’m very curious how that thin line of US forces can hold!
I know! And I'm so pleased how well the game flows and how addictive it is! Great to hear from you Zilla, thanks 👍

Great video!.Where can you buy this game?
Hi Paul, thanks for watching! Its still available in lots of places. I bought mine online from SecondChanceGames here in UK
@@soloboardgaming Thanks 👍
Should we as wargame consumers start to demand/expect game specific counter trays as part of the game?
Gosh, that would be so useful. But I can't see it somehow 😊

As usual Heth, you have it spot on!

@@HethwillWargames Thanks again for your support my friend 👍
Can't find this anywhere in the UK :(
Darn it, thats annoying. They'll surely reissue but don't know when. Thank you for checking in again 👍
@@soloboardgaming I might not watch in them in order, but I watch them lol
@@thelastmotel I'm lucky to have supporters like you, thank you!
Hey Solo, how are you doing?
I'm very well Brun, thanks for asking. Just so much going on and little spare time but it will change soon and ill be back 😊👍
@@soloboardgaming glad to hear that my friend
Not used to being able to read what's on the counter - I know what that's like!
I know, makes a great change. Every component here is best quality stuff 👍
@@soloboardgaming Your vid made me interested to look at some others and I saw there are some errata though. Apparently there's an Infantry counter that shows armoured on its flipside...?
@@danderson5084 Yes so I understand but I've not found that in my copy 👍
Thank you, I want this :)
Hello Murph, thank you for having a look. There's still plenty copies around at many online game stores.
looks like an interesting game
Thanks for looking in. Its a really accessible system!
A German victory in 3 turns!!!??? I don't know who to trust less as a leader, you or Zilla Blitz.... just say'n =)
Appreciate you stopping by Hissy, thanks! Well, please don't follow me, I'm no leader thats for sure! But I picked a scenario that had a 'sudden death' condition that the Germans met unexpectedly!😲
@@soloboardgaming I was just giving you a little sh*t. =)
This game was designed for gamers who are not that intelligent.
Fair enough V Star, I just enjoy the game 😊
