Bulge, D-Day, Gettysburg, and now Battle of the BulgePlay By Email Support Page |
NOTE BENE: I've created an ILLUSTRATED OPTIONAL RULES AND CLARIFICATIONS page for Gettysburg 88 on Fortune City, based upon the excellent article in THE GENERAL, Vol. 29, No. 4 (see the link, bottom of this page). I'll be on the lookout to add material for the cavalry battle, as well, as soon as I get my hands upon the article. Another great use for Cyberboard
The Gameboxes represented on this page are the work of George Manousakis. These games (D-Day,Gettysburg, and Battle of the Bulge) are classic board wargames published by Avalon Hill. They are among the most popular wargames published by Avalon Hill and have been reprinted/republished several times. These particular gamesets represent the American Heritage/Smithsonian editions.
Note: You can find these games in most hobby shops, even the more fashionable "mall gaming shops."
This Gamebox is created using Dale Larson's excellent Play By Email utility, Cyberboard (the poor man's Aide De Camp!)

D-Day, Gettysburg and the Battle of the Bulge are all copyright, the
Avalon Hill Gaming Company, inc..
As far as I can determine, you can follow the game sequence in the rulebook as written
with this gameset, no special turn tracks are required.
The graphic above illustrates the setup for the 1943 scenario that comes with the game. This is a true boardgame to electronic conversion. The map is scanned, making for a large file, but it's worth it-- this set duplicates the boardgame experience exactly!
Is this the Union fishhook? This is the Day 3 scenario for Gettysburg 88. Again, everything covered in the game itself is replicated here.
Some pretty tense moments in the Ardennes...

I'll always have a copy. Perhaps you'll find it useful, too).
