Battle of the Bulge is a turn based strategy game set on the Western Front during the Second World War. From by Joni Nuutinen: by a wargamer for the wargamers since 2011. Latest patches on late August 2026. The historical battle took place in December 1944 in the Ardennes, Belgium, where American forces took on a large German offensive. It was the largest land battle of WWII in which the United States directly participated. In the game, you are in control of the US armed forces and command American infantry, airborne, and armored divisions. Your first task is to survive the initial German onslaught, known as the Ardennes Offensive, while keeping your divisions in fighting order. After regrouping, you must contain the German attack and prevent the enemy from reaching Brussels, as this would allow them a route to the strategic port city of Antwerp. Once you have stopped the enemy offensive, push back the German units and encircled as many as possible by cutting them off as they advance. The game is over if: + Germans reach over 150 Victory Points, or + Germans control less than 10 Victory Points.
