At least we have "The Longest Day"
...and "A Bridge Too Far" is pretty good. But that Bulge movie really was crap.

The jagdtiger would be rare to see in battle. Not really historical realism.
But they were used in battle = Operation Nordwind in Alsace in Jan. '45 a company from a heavy JPz Abteilung equipped w/ JTs was attached to the rebuilt 17th SS PzGr Div. to give it some offensive punch. Now I doubt you would see the JT and the Sturm Tiger together.

Could it be because late war FJG wore standard helmets a lot?
There is a bunch of film shot of the FJ unit in question and they are all wearing FJ helmets.

Not a bad idea at all!
I for one would like to see one as I find the selection process difficult to understand.

Cool battle, cool toys.

Spotted what I think is another error. The US get's Combat Engineers as reinforcements about 10/11 turns in. But they are labeled as Pioneers and that is the German term and not the US term.

On page 2 of the briefing it looks like the Friendly Forces and Enemy Forces paragraphs are opposite of what they should be.

Typo in the Lutrebois briefing = "34th ID has been tasked...". Should be the 35th as the 134th IR belongs to that formation. A small point I know but we do love historical accuracy.

True the artwork is usually very good. But content goes from poor to acceptable w/ only the Aircraft of the Aces and the Aviation Elite series rising above the acceptable level. Th

Welcome back.
I I've read four Osprey "Duel" series books to date and I find them to be very poor overall and not worth the $$.

Haw! I laughed out loud. A blizzard & heavy snow ground conditions? You are a sucker for punishment!
Me too. I laughed when his Jumbo '76 immobilized and then his Jumbo flame lost it's optics to the Flak panzer. A run of BAD luck there!

OK boss. No offense intended.

...and there is a new book by Antony Beevor with a very similar title: "Ardennes 1944: Hitler's Last Gamble". Don't have much info on this boo as it was published in Dec. Here is a review from the New York Times Book Review. Be warned as it shows the NYTs pet obsessions; an emphasis on war crimes, the common man and a refusal to recognize heroism from straight white males. (One wonders how differently they would view WWII if Eisenhower was a black trannie.)

Surprised no one list "Hitler's Last Gamble: The Battle of the Bulge, Dec 1944-Jan 1945" by Trevor Dupuy. Despite its "pulpy" title it is a super detailed account that approaches the subject matter from an operational level systems perspective. It includes many maps and 130+ page appendixes on the TO&Es and doctrines of the armies involved. It is a bit dry and perhaps overly detailed at times. I view it as a good companion to "A Time for Trumpets" as they compliment each other due to their different approaches to the subject matter.
