• A&A: the Battle of the Bulge New Game in 22nd November 2006 ukL 34.99
  After the successful D-Day invasion of Normandy, the Wehrmacht was either on the defensive or in rout - with one spectacular exception; the Ardennes winter offensive of 1944, in which an entire army - built up without any apparent realisation or appreciation of its significance by Allied intelligence - was thrown at a quiet sector of the front only weakly defended by merkin troops being "rested" there.
  With the good fortune of atrocious weather conditions, the Allies air superiority was useless - and the Wehrmacht swept aside the light defences, driving deep into liberated Europe, and heading for Allied fuel dumps and the Channel Ports.
  in this trouser-leg of time the offensive was contained, by a combination of fierce resistence by merkin troops in the area reorganising themselves into adhoc units, British troops driving down from the north, merkin troops from the south, and the eventual breaking of the weather allowing the Allied Air Force to interdict movement by the German Armour: But in your replaying of this famous campaign, it will take a combination of a clear-sighted strategy, successful tactics and flexibility, as well as a little luck, to achieve your army's aim, and prove the victor

• A&A: Pacific New Revised Edition: c. 2006 ukL 34.99
  Classic boardgame of WWII in the Pacific 7/12/41 to The End
  2-3 players from age 12-96; graded "challenging" which it is - as are the first two A&A games, above; all three are well worth the effort of learning: they give hours of absorbing play, teach strategic thought and can spark an even greater interest in the history of that time.
