Beschreibung

Fields of Fire: Bulge (Exp.) ist ein Expertenspiel. Diese Erweiterung bietet sieben neue Missionen und ein Terrain-Deck, das die Wälder, Felder und Dörfer der Ardennen im Zweiten Weltkrieg detailreich darstellt. Spieler erleben intensive taktische Gefechte und strategische Herausforderungen im historischen Kontext der Ardennenoffensive.

The 9th Infantry Regiment “Manchus,” part of the 2nd Infantry Division, endured three weeks of intense combat from December 13th, 1944 to January 8th, 1945 during the Battle of the Bulge. This expansion covers those critical days through seven new missions and introduces a Terrain Deck featuring the forests, fields, and villages of the Ardennes. Included in the counter sheet are units and equipment such as a U.S. heavy machine gun platoon, Bangalore torpedoes, anti-tank mines, wire entanglements, German tanks, assault guns, Panzergrenadiers, and Volksgrenadiers. The story of the “Manchus” continues from Fields of Fire: Volume I, where World War Two’s Normandy Campaign had just ended. The 2nd Infantry Division was quickly redeployed to join the assault on Brest, Brittany. After fierce fighting from August 21st to September 18th, the city was captured. With German resistance collapsing elsewhere in France, the division rapidly advanced to Paris, arriving on September 29th. The forward push concluded in early October, when the division reached the Schnee Eifel region east of St. Vith, Belgium—along the symbolic German border. There, on October 5th, the 2nd Infantry Division took over from the 4th and 28th Infantry Divisions, positioning itself ahead of the Siegfried Line, which cuts through difficult terrain. During October and November, the “Manchus” integrated replacements and prepared for upcoming challenges, conducting frequent patrols but encountering no major combat. On December 10th, the 2nd Infantry Division began being relieved by the 106th Infantry Division, completing this transition by December 11th. The division then assembled at Camp Elsenborn to ready itself for the renewed German offensive, which began on December 13th with an attack north through the Siegfried Line.
