The Battle of the Bulge

**Big Ivan** · 12-16-2009, 10:49 PM,

Today marks the 65th anniversary of the start of the Battle of the Bulge.

Please take a moment in your day to remember all the soldiers from all the nations living and passed who fought in that terrible engagement.

A good way to spend the anniversary is to check out Earlmann's Chronicles series. I know some don't agree with Earlmann's OOB and the lack of lower level HQ's but a lot of testing has been done and can really recommend a great challenge playing the Germans in 1st Chronicles. Playing 2nd Chronicles now and it's a blast.

I'll second that Cole.

VonE makes some of the best scenarios around!

cheers

Also forgot that Don Fox has some good stuff on the 4th AD. In fact (at least on the American side) the leaders you'll see in Don's scenarios are actual soldiers. I think he even has a couple of historical German leaders in his scenarios.

December 16th is my birthday, I've always thought it was so cool because it fell on that historical time, and to remember them a little easier!!

Yes Don has made some very good scenarios regarding BoB.

He has not been on in a while. Hope he is well.

Thanx!

Don appears to be doing well, though he's probably crying over the Jags loss last weekend.

He's on the road a lot with his company, Firehouse Subs.

Regards,

Is there still a market for Bulge scns? The last one I finished some months ago was played only once (by myself against Steffen) despite plenty of advertizing. And there are more Ardennes scns around that have hardly ever been played. Maybe the community of active players has become a very small one.

Good Morning Huib,

What scenario? I was unaware. I would like to take a look at it.

Thanx!
