| Standard Combat Series - Game Number 3
Ardennes is a game of this classic engagement. In it you will find the features you would expect from a game on this topic - against-the-odds American defenses, slashing Panzer assualts, dramatic bridge crossings (or explosions), para drops, and US-clad commandos. It does not cntain the features you have grown to loathe in "Bulge" games of late - over-wrought traffic jam rules, sluggish play, and enough special rules to make players gag.
Instead, Ardennes has enough chrome to keep a player's interest. Not so much that it makes play drag, enough color to give the flavor of the period, not so much as to lose the fun of the game. it is a crisp, fast, fun game of the most popular battle in US World War II history.
