@RisingSun I had similar experience, I was big into the naval miniatures but couldn’t afford both. I bought a lot on ebay a year or so ago and have played a few games. It is not difficult to learn especially if you are familiar with the navy side, it’s pretty similar but includes facing. I think it’s a great game and wish I had collected it some when it was active.

How many Airborne?
How many Sherman ?
How may AT guns?
How many bazookas?
This inf alone could help my scenario -
Looks like you need to hit the library for some books. Obviously with the amount of army pieces you have so far you need to be creative. I’d play any pieces I had to make it a bigger army. Playing is better than being historically correct.

"Bastogne is a game covering the defense of the little crossroads town of Bastogne from 18 December to 26 December 1944. It is not a game about the whole Ardennes Offensive, but rather a close-up look at the actual perimeter battle to protect the town and the mechanized delaying actions leading into it. The map only extends as far east as Longvilly and north to Noville at 400m per hex. Each turn is a day, units are generally companies.
Bastogne comes with special rules for road marching, Team SNAFU, barrages, and air strikes - but is built around a quick-to-play, simple-to-learn framework. Bastogne has three scenarios: an introductory scenario covering the Battle for Noville, a medium-sized one covering the Battle for Longvilly, and the withdrawal of Team Cherry plus the counterattack by the 501st Airborne Regiment, and the campaign game itself covering the whole action in a jam-packed 10 turns. A number of variants have been provided so you can experience the game over and over looking at fresh insights."

My neighbor warren ( May he R.I.P ) was in the battle for the bulge. He was part of a bazooka team and he snuck up behind a King Tiger tank. They shot at it and the rocket bounced off. I then asked him what did you do next and he replied: We dropped the bazooka and ran. He ended up getting wounded later by grenade shrapnel
