The fate of Europe is
in your hands!
German tanks thunder into the snow-covered Ardennes forest, opposed only
by a few unsuspecting divisions of exhausted American troops. As Axis forces
plunge into the countryside, Allied troops must struggle to hold the front
line in order to repel the all-out offensive. Axis & Allies: Battle of
the Bulge challenges you to control territory and contend with supply
shortages, while directing infantry, artillery, tanks, and aircraft in one
of the most decisive conflicts of World War II.

Axis & Allies depicts 'Wacht am Rhein' (Watch on the Rhein),
the German code name for this counter-offensive that took place toward the
end of World War II. The objective - to capture the port city of Antwerp. It
was expected that the capture of Antwerp would cause a great disruption in
the flow of Allied supplies, and also have the effect of breaking apart the
great Anglo-American alliance.
One player controls Germany, whose massive build up of forces have gone
undetected by the Allies and are poised to unleash their firepower on the
Allied forces. The other player controls the forces of Britain and the
United States and they must stem the tide of German armour and hold their
positions until reinforcements arrive.
Axis & Allies Battle of the Bulge includes crucial elements that
were key factors in the historical battle, such as supply shortages, air
support, mechanics for overland vs. road movement and randomized casualties
of war.
