{"product_id":"ardennes","title":"Ardennes","description":"\u003cp\u003eArdennes is an Operational level board-wargame, number 3 in the Standard Combat Series by The Gamers. This wargame covers the German attack in the Ardennes in 1944, better known as the Battle of the Bulge.\n\nFrom the publisher:\n\nDec. 16, 1944: Along 50 miles of front in Belgium, the German Wehrmacht shatters the stillness of the morning as it begins its last great offensive in the West. More than 1,000 tanks and 200,000 men are available to break through the thinly held American line. It is Hitler's last desperate bid to change the course of the war.\n\nArdennes is a game of this classic engagement, the Battle of the Bulge. It features all the color you'd expect from a study of this topic: against-all-odds American defenses, slashing Panzer assaults, dramatic bridge crossings, Nebelwerfers, para-drops, commandos and more -- but in a crisp, fast, fun game of the most popular battle in U.S. World War II history.\n\nGame Scale:\nGame Turn: 1 day\nHex: 1 mile \/ 1.6 Km\nUnits: Battalion to Brigade\n\nGame Inventory:\nTwo 22 x 34\" full-color maps\nTwo dual-side printed countersheets (560 1\/2\" counters)\nOne 8-page SCS version 1.6 system rulebook\nOne 16-page Ardennes specific rulebook\nTwo 6-sided dice\n\nSolitaire Playability: Medium\nComplexity Level: Medium-Low [3 out of 8]\nPlayers: 2\nPlaying Time: 3-15 hours\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 900 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.80 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dean Essig\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1994\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Gamers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51924857749720,"sku":"SB-1FCE5884A681-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/jym3xksdtekd3bldbd6j6084p6mc.jpg?v=1785457313","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/ardennes","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
