Battle of Bulge 1944-1945
$3.99About Battle of Bulge 1944-1945
Conflicts: Battle of the Bulge is a turn based strategy game set on the Western Front during the Second World War.
The historical battle took place in December 1944 in Ardennes, Belgium, where American forces fought against a large German offensive. It was the largest land battle of World War II in which the United States directly participated.
In the game, you are in control of the US armed forces and command American infantry, airborne and armoured divisions. Your first task is to survive the initial German onslaught, known as the Ardennes Offensive, while keeping your divisions in fighting order. After regrouping, you must contain the German attack and prevent the enemy from reaching Brussels, as this would allow them a route to the strategic port city of Antwerp. Once you have stopped the enemy offensive, push back the German units and destroy as many as possible.
The game is over if:
+ Germans reach over 150 Victory Points, or
+ Germans control less than 10 Victory Points.
FEATURES:
+ Long-lasting: Thanks to in-built variation and the game's smart AI technology, each game provides a unique war gaming experience.
+ Competitive: Measure your skills against others fighting for the Hall of Fame top spots.
+ Experienced units learn new skills, like improved attack or defence performance, ability to cross rivers without losing move points.
+ Challenging: Crush the enemy quickly and earn the bragging rights on the forum.
+ Settings: Various settings are available to alter the look of the gaming experience: Switch between terrain themes, change difficulty level, choose icon set for units (NATO or REAL) and cities (Round, Shield, or Square), decide what is drawn on the map, change font and hexagon sizes.
+ Two Icon Sets: Real or NATO-styled units.
+ Supports casual play: Easy to pick up, leave off, continue later.
+ Tablet friendly strategy game: Automatically scales the map for any physical screen size/resolution from small smartphones to HD tablets, while settings allow you to fine tune hexagon and font sizes.
+ Historical accuracy: Campaign mirrors the historical setup, and uses the names and locations of the divisions that saw combat during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II.
In order to be a victorious general, it is essential that you learn to coordinate your attacks in two ways. First, as adjacent units give support to an attacking unit, keep your units in groups in order to gain local superiority. Secondly, it is rarely a good idea to use brute force when it is possible to encircle the enemy and cut off its supply lines instead.

Conflict-Series has offered highly rated Android-only strategy games since 2011. The campaigns are based on the time-tested gaming elements TBS (turn-based strategy) enthusiasts are familiar with from both the classic PC war games and legendary tabletop board games. I also want to thank the fans for all the well thought-out suggestions over the years which have allowed these campaigns to improve at a much higher rate than what any indie developer could dream of. if you have feedback about the Conflict-Series please use email, this way we can have a constructive back and forth conversion without all the limits of the store's comment system. In addition, because I have huge number of projects on multiple stores, it’s just not very sensible to spend handful of hours each day going through hundreds of pages spread all over the Internet to see if somebody has posted a question somewhere -- just send me an email and I will answer to it as soon as I'm online. Thanks for understanding!

This game brings back so many fond memories from my youth...in cardboard, now available in the palm of my hand. Numerous ways to customize the game to make it perfect for each player. Easy to play or to turn into a days-long challenge...you get out of it what you put into it. Congrats on another great game.

This campaign is harder than the others I've played and is a real challenge. My first attempt was a complete rout for the Germans, however, the second time I played I won comfortably. Patience is needed for the Allies at first. Committing units to battle too early is a recipe for disaster. I would love to have a go at commanding the German forces in this campaign. The game engine and Ai are first class. Brilliant series of games. Thank you

Other games by this designer are impossible to lose; the object is merely to see how quickly you can win. In Bulge, you should still win almost every time -- almost. Make a couple of dumb mistakes and you can get 9 or 10 of your divisions surrounded and lose. This possibility makes the game more interesting than some of the designer's other games.

With a small unit count and most of the map under your control at the start of the battle, you might think this is an easy war game. But with the German units faster, tougher and more numerous than yours, you'll quickly find yourself completely overwhelmed, cut off from supplies and beaten. It's a game that will take a few tries to beat on any difficulty. While at times extremely frustrating (you'll sometimes feel like the enemy is cheating), it's a very satisfying finish when you get it right. Recommended.

It turn out very similar to historical account. The way to win is the same as what happened in 1944.

Sir, you are very good at this... Maybe make it so we can play both sides on all of you conflict games? 5*

Definitely not impossible to beat though took a few tries to work out a viable strategy. Harder to take advantage of cutting off supply lines early but that's the nature of the battle depicted.

This IS the Bulge! The fog actually aided the Yanks in the beginning. The Germans would run up against 3 Shermans (deployed properly) & think it was a battalion. A single NCO called for fire until a Nazi tank sat on his foxhole & he died of fumes. Go & be aggresive. This is where Creighton Abrams (in command of CCA) got his credit! This is a treat to have history in the palm of your hand. Fortune favors the bold.

Great game engine but AI pretty much impossible to beat. Seems quite imbalanced. Have played and won other games in this series, but never even close with this game.

This game is literally un winnable. AI has too I many unfair advantages. I just downloaded again for change of pace, and it simply isn't enjoyable. Too long to bring units into action. The platform is superb as always. This is just not an enjoyable campaign- I'd like to see more Allied-perspective games (Italy? The advance on the Rhine? The Nazi invasion of France?). This ones just kind of boring compared with, say, the wonderful Civil War

Seems completely unbalanced and consequently infuriating. German units can move when surrounded yet Americans can't. Volksgrenadier units are defeating regular US Infantry. American air support is useless (yes I know air support eas unavailable for the first few days). It is impossible to get American Airborne divisions to Bastogne. It is also impossible to defend Luxembourg city which was never threatened during the real battle. German infantry can move two hexes across country yet Allied tanks can't!

Major bug: cant bombard with B17 units that are out of supply, says "no unit there". Near the end you lose almost all battles even when 5vs1!!!!!!!
