Maximum Forces, Grand Scenario for the Battle of the Bulge. This version of the Campaign game features early release of the Armored elements of I SS Panzer Corps and the release of the German operational reserves, 10th SS Panzer and 11th Panzer Divisions. It also has additional British forces from XXX Corps entering into the fight. Editor's notes: This scenario was altered to allow German and SS panzer and panzer grenadier division as well as corps and army level pioneers to breakdown into companies. This allows more flexibility but still restricts other lower quality axis divisions.

A good hard battle, but the early release of the Germans allows a quick breakthrough to an experienced player.
The maximum effort scenario requires some balancing; otherwise, the Axis eventually gets steamrolled. Cavalry Corps is now creating a more balanced version based on our experience.
I felt it was heavily favoring the Allies but still a fun game as both sides had chances to attack and there was room to maneuver.
Unsuitable for opponents playing on an equal level.
