About the game

Desperate measures are the order of the day as the Germans and Americans square off at the Battle of the Bulge. With the 12 additional cards included, the Germans can conduct the von der Heydete airdrop, push forward their Jadgtigers, form Kampfgruppen or commit their very last reserves. New cards for the Allied hand include SHAEF, carpet bombing, a 'fortified goose egg,' and The Red Ball Express. Optional rules include traffic control, attack coordination, and a terrific system for mixing up event opportunities and varying the 'storyboard' of the Bulge campaign! Notice: the Bulge 20 Expansion Kit is not a ‘stand alone’ game. You must own a copy of Bulge 20 to use this expansion kit.
