The Ardennes Offensive, December 1944

The Last Gamble: The Ardennes Offensive, December 1944 – Designer Signature Edition, marks the return of a true wargaming classic by Danny S. Parker. First published in 1989, it has been faithfully remastered and updated with this all-new, super-sized edition. The CSR award-winning designer is well regarded as an author and expert on the Battle of the Bulge, having designed no less than six games on the subject. The original release showed great promise with an excellent order of battle but contained considerable errata that limited game enjoyment. These shortcomings are now fully addressed in this new and improved edition that promises to realize the full potential of this two-to-five player, operational level simulation covering the Battle of the Bulge in a highly detailed yet imminently playable format.

This edition of The Last Gamble features super-sized map and counters and is another classic reborn by Compass.

The Last Gamble covers the last major German offensive on the Western Front during World War II, which took place in the Ardennes during the winter of 1944. The objective of Hitler’s last desperate gamble to win the war, code-named Wacht am Rhein, was Antwerp. This Belgian coastal city was the largest port in Europe and Eisenhower planned on using it to supply his final offensive into Germany. Hitler was certainly correct in judging that its capture would be a devastating blow to the Allies. Ultimately, the Germans failed to reach Antwerp or even get a single tank across the Meuse River.

This Designer Signature Edition goes far beyond a mere culmination of errata corrections and player comments collected through the years. It now features many new, innovative game features and several new scenarios, including perhaps the most comprehensive order of battle published to date. Five full-map scenarios are provided covering The Last Blitzkrieg and various phases of the battle, including a plausible “What-If?” scenario exploring the battle starting six days earlier as originally proposed (10 December); along with a new introductory scenario covering the Battle Before the Meuse, 23-26 December.
