First released in Strategy & Tactics magazine #20 (December 1969) along with Anzio Beachhead. It was also available in SPI's "whitebox" and "Flat Pack" lines. This was Dunnigan's first (of several) Battle of the Bulge games. Per Dunnigan: "Bastogne was an attempt to do the Bulge with max accuracy. The map was a tedious effort to create, working from Belgian government maps from the 1930s. After Bastogne I decided to emphasize playability in my Bulge designs." (e-mail with Neopeius, 9-9-11)
