It’s deep without feeling complex, and fun without feeling light. Further, it’s beautiful, both visually and aurally, and so intuitive that you don’t need a tutorial to learn the interface. If you’re at all into turn-based gaming, give this one a try. If you’re not, give this one a try, anyway.” — MobileTechReview “A game that will make historical strategy diehards swoon, while also being pretty enough, and easy enough to learn, to draw in people who never knew that this was the game they'd been waiting for.” — TouchArcade “In terms of war simulation games on the App Store, I haven’t seen a better game…” — TUAW “…a game of considerable majesty awaits you…” — Gamezebo “Easily the most educational game I’ve ever played.” — Eurogamer "Battle of the Bulge is as cold, brutal, and unforgiving as the titular conflict, but it's also one of the top choices for hardcore iPad strategists." - Pocket Gamer UK Information Seller:Slitherine Genre:Board, Strategy Release:Dec 13, 2012 Updated:Nov 30, 2017 Version:2.36 Size:438.7 MB TouchArcade Rating: User Rating: (26) Your Rating:unrated Compatibility:HD Universal Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel Mythbuster Well-Known Member Nov 19, 2008 1,260 22 38 Journalist In the middle of nowhere #2 Mythbuster, Dec 13, 2012 Link does not work in German Store! funambulist Well-Known Member Dec 21, 2008 505 0 0 NL #3 funambulist, Dec 13, 2012 @MythBuster try Owen's link on Pocket Tactics...

It is absolutely superb. This may be (as Owen @ Pocket Tactics has claimed) the best iPad game ever made. Pitta Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2008 3,420 148 63 Male Italy #13 Pitta, Dec 13, 2012 Did the tutorial and started playing. ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY. An aural visual orgasm. When I heard the German music playing while reading the history notes of the first day, the wind and the shots, the radio interferences....I almost had tears of joy.

This should be editors choice, its a shame a game of this amazing quality is getting ignored in favor of crap like You don't know jack!!!! C'mon Eli get these guys on the podcast, you are always talking about how you want to see high quality games on the platform. Well, here ya go brother! djflippy Well-Known Member Mar 9, 2009 4,441 0 36 #15 djflippy, Dec 13, 2012 This game is close to perfect and this is coming from a guy with over 2,200 wargames and boardgames... Get this. Now. Struan73 Well-Known Member Jan 2, 2009 49 0 0 #16 Struan73, Dec 13, 2012 German Store Still not there. IT WAS A German Offensive. Dam it. By the way, for all who may be interested. The battle is called in german: Die Ardennen-Offensive - The Ardennes Offensive. So I still have to wait and hear the Overture out of the Movie "A Bridge Too Far" to stay in the mood. Struan coxy Well-Known Member Sep 16, 2011 258 3 18 England #17 coxy, Dec 13, 2012 Really want to buy this, but the price is quite high for something that seems quite short? (Isn't it just 1 level?) Love the screenshots though, but think I will buy footy manager 13 first....although some great feedback above drelbs Well-Known Member Jun 25, 2009 11,201 7 38 #18 drelbs, Dec 13, 2012 There's a short "opening battle" scenario, and the entire Battle of the Bulge. This is a nice chunk of WWII, hardly could be considered "1 level". drloony Well-Known Member Jul 19, 2012 310 0 0 #19 drloony, Dec 13, 2012 Here comes the inevitable price mention. Was hoping this woulda come in at a bit lower price point, but it takes precedence over all the other games I want right now. This game looks absolutely killer GiHubb Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Apr 27, 2010 1,049 39 48 CEO #20 GiHubb, Dec 13, 2012 I have to agree. Hopefully it doesn't get ignored on TA for long.
