Before World War II, French War Minister Marshal Petain called the Ardennes Forest of France, Belgium and Luxembourg “a sector that is not dangerous. It is impenetrable.” Yet battle has raged over this area for two millennia, since the time of Caesar’s legions fighting the German tribes, and more recently, during the opening campaign of the First World War. In 1940, the German Army overran the unsuspecting French in the Ardennes, leading to the fall of France a few weeks later. Similarly in 1944, the Germans launched a surprise attack, popularly known as the Battle of the Bulge, on American forces in the Ardennes. This failed German offensive would hasten the defeat of the German Wehrmacht in the West.
Battles for the Ardennes simulates the battles that occurred in the Ardennes area in World War II with new artwork and mounted map boards. Individual combat units represent between 1,000 and 7,000 men and supporting weapons. Armored units represent between 40 to 180 tanks or Panzers. Artillery units represent between 60 and 100 guns or rocket projectors.
