Bulge: The Battle for the Ardennes is a Divisional sized board-wargame on the Ardennes offensive in 1944 on a small map and with short rules. The German objective is to blast the American lines and exit as many units as possible on the West and North West edges of the map.
Central to the system are the supply rules. Supply lines are interdicted by possession and proximity (3 hex range) to bridge hex-sides. Victory is checked at the end of every turn where the Germans will compare VPs collected against the Victory conditions. If Victory conditions are not met, play continues.
