Battle of The Bulge PG Trilogy:

[vince hughes]

Jay,

I enjoy the complete Bulge Trilogy but strangely have played few from BotB or ER. That is not because I have avoided it but merely due to the 'random' dice system Wayne and I use to employ scenario picks. When I have played them, they have overall been enjoyable.

It would be nice if AP could update the Bulge scenario book in two ways.

Bring in the new rules that ER & WS employ (infantry AT and other SSR's) and

Have somebody comb through the VC's and SR's and then either issue them online as 'official changes and errata' or update and print a new scenario book. The printing of the book would be too expensive a course I'm guessing.(or is it a matter of simply changing the template ?) Thing is though, the BotB set does need some serious editing due to a good few anamolies in VC's. In other words, I'm suggesting that the scenarios they already have could be improved by just changing some VC's rather than complete scenarrio re-writes.

I see the 'Bulge Three' perhaps a bit differently to you. I have them as the finale to the Westwall/Siegried/Hurtgen battles that the 5 x downloads or IoG book covers. This is my particular German v US baby. Therefore, rather than just a trilogy, I see the First Book in 5 chapters as the IoG followed by the Wacht Am Rhein offensive (Bulge) as book 2 in 3 chapters :-)

I guess the final part of this whole series will be a number of books or sets on the campaigns of the Western allies covering Jan-May 1945. Operation Varsity and Plunder for example. Even then in March, there were still some very stiff battles with some of Varsity's airborne casualties being of a higher percentage than Market Garden.
