{"product_id":"bitter-woods-deluxe-edition","title":"Bitter Woods Deluxe Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eBitter Woods is a mid-complexity wargame on the last great German offensive in Dec 1944, commonly known as the \"Battle of the Bulge\". The map depicts the area of operations, the Ardennes area at the borders of Germany, France, Belgium, and Luxemburg. Prominent features like roads, rivers and cities are depicted. A hexagonal grid is superimposed over the map to regulate game play. Each hexagon is 2 miles across, unit size is brigade and regiments. Each turn represents 12 hours of real time.\n\nGame features include morale, prominent leaders, blitzkrieg tactics, German army boundaries, initial surprise, Allied air power and much more.\n\nThis is the Deluxe Edition, an entirely new version (fourth edition) of the game.\n\nFirst off, the map is printed on heavy cardstock to avoid the problems with paper mapsheets. Improved \u0026amp; updated the graphics for everything all around, and increased the size of the game counters to 5\/8\". Enhanced the Rulebook with new scenarios, additional variants, rule updates \u0026amp; clarifications, included a Players Handbook, updated the designer's notes, and much more! There are full COLOR player aid cards, Random Events are introduced, they've updated the cartography (the map graphics), provided an updated Order of Battle, the hexes have been enlarged to contain the larger game counters, and variant counters are also introduced.\n\nFor those of you with distinguishing tastes in their choice of wargames, this has also been acclaimed by the noted designer and expert on the subject, Danny S. Parker. The beautifully rendered tank graphics, especially for the Germans in their Autumn camo-pattern, is superb to say the least.\n\nGame Scale:\nGame Turn: 12 hours\nHex: 2 miles \/ 3.5 kilometers\nUnits: Battalion to Regiment\n\nGame Inventory:\nOne 30 x 44\" full color map\nOne dual-side printed countersheet (384 5\/8\" counters)\nOne 24-page rulebook\nOne 28-page Players' Handbook\nTwo Players' Aid Cards (TEC \u0026amp; CRT)\nOne German Order of Appearance Card\nOne American Order of Appearance Card\nTwo Variant Scenario Cards\n\nSolitaire Playability: High\nComplexity Level: Medium\nPlayers: 2 or more\nPlaying Time: 4-15 hours\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.08 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Randy Heller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"L2 Design Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51924656259288,"sku":"SB-0122CE1BA3CC-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\/bwpkutks82yc5zqirvjr2dvmcqmo.jpg?v=1785455611","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/bitter-woods-deluxe-edition","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
