My questions:

-
Can you tell us about combat “strips”
-
Does the game end by dec 25th? jan 31st?
-
any optional rules?
-
are the british colored revised green?
-
Do the Germans have any SS troops?
Put me down for 16 copies of Larry’s new Bulge game on Nov 17th 2006.
Larry Harris answers:
1. I have no pictures. Any pictures that become available will be released by Avalon Hill, not me.
2. I’ll be demoing it all day Thursday and some on Friday at Gencon
3. Yes. In a nut shell these are pulled out from under the board. You only pull out the same number of unit types as you have targets. These pulled downed images become the targets. Their position on the columns assigns them an “Address†per si. If the attack dice (12-sided) are rolled and share the same address, the target takes a HIT. One hit forces a retreat, two or more eliminates the target.
4. I’m not sure an exact end date was established in the final draft of the game. In my mind it ends January 1st. The German player has to match what the real German army did by that date and better it by one town or actually a certain number of points.
5.Yes, but limited (intentionally). One, for example, is the Custom Set up… That’s kind of self explanatory . This has more to do with the German Army set up than the other way around.
6. Brits are a light-tan. Probably more like in Pacific than anything else.
7. They are recognized from an historical point of view as being SS.
You see Imperious has got some “pull” and i use it to push.
All you people had best reserve a copy of this game. It will be his best to date!
