Watch am Rhein, the Battle of the Bulge, is a grand-tactical simulation of that enormous Battle. The more than 2,380 Counters represent every Formation, at Company and Battalion Levels, which fought there, including US, German, British, French, Canadian and Belgian Units. Infantry, Armor, anti-tank, reconnaissance, engineer, assault gun, howitzer, rocket, parachute, ranger, glider and headquarters units are all fully represented. The 4 Maps are an accurate representation of the Region. Compiled from 1944 German Staff Maps and 1943-44 1:50,000 US Army Maps, they shows all roads, trails and other types of terrain, along with all the Towns and Villages that became bastions of the American defense, as well as every creek and river that couldn’t be crossed by wheeled Vehicles without a Bridge.
Players may use single Maps for 6 smaller Scenarios. There is also a Campaign Game that utilizes all 4 Sections and portrays three weeks (50 Game Turns). In that one the Germans race for the Meuse, the last hurdle before the open country leading to Antwerp, in the face of increasing concentrations of Allied Infantry, Armor and Air Power. Extensive supply, weather and air power rules are included.
