The Race to Bastogne is a 'hex and counter' style game which puts you in charge of armoured units from the US Army in the Battle of the Bulge in 1944 World War II. You will be commanding small groups of Sherman tanks, Priest mobile artillery and Greyhound armoured cars in order to clear routes across the freezing countryside to Bastogne, where the US 101st Airbourne are surrounded by the enemy. You will need to supply at least 3 but preferably 5 standard six-sided dice. Sample counters have been included at the end of the book which you can cut out or copy, and stick to card if you wish. In full colour, rules and 12 replayable missions are included. —description from the designer
