What is Decisive Campaigns: Ardennes Offensive?

This turn-based hex-grid wargame covers the Ardennes battles of December 1944 and January 1945. You command battalion-sized units in a full campaign or shorter scenarios, planning movement and attacks around supply, weather, and line of sight. Each day has four turns, including a night turn.

For you if...

  • +you like planning around supply, terrain, and visibility
  • +you want a full campaign alongside shorter scenarios

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer fast battles over deliberate turn-by-turn planning
  • −you want combat without detailed supply and command rules
