From the back cover: "Attack in the Ardennes" is an Operational level board-wargame for two players covering Germany’s last offense in the west. One player controls the German forces attempting to break through the Allied lines; the other player commands the American, British and French Forces trying to stem the onslaught. Movement of units is point-to-point along roads, emphasizing the key role played by the transportation lines in the rugged and densely wooded Ardennes. Each turn covers eight hours of the actual battle; each unit represents a regiment-sized unit involved in the battle. Armor, infantry, artillery and rocket launchers have key roles in battle, each having its own strengths and weaknesses. (text from the Box)
