From Rick Young, designer of Europe Engulfed, comes a series of fun, tense
block games. FAB games focus on speed and playability with low-unit density
while keeping the history both accurate and exciting.
Volume 1: The Bulge brings you the Battle of the Bulge from
December 16th through December 27th. You command the division and brigade level
units using the historical orders of battle. You order your forces to key
points, and decide how and when to order extra Assets to bolster them. Note that
there are never enough of these Assets to give to all the units begging for
them, so you need to weigh your decisions carefully.
FAB delivers a new blend of units and decisions to the block game genre: your
forces are a mixture of wooden blocks and die-cut counters.
Blocks: your divisions and brigades are multi-step wooden blocks with printed
labels on one side only, with step-losses represented by rotating the blocks.
FAB has a new twist on the units in that the pips on the edges of the blocks are
color coded to represent troop quality, which can change as a Division suffers
losses. Elite Units can lose their edge and become Veteran, while Green Units
can harden and become Veteran as they experience the strains of combat.
Counters: Die-cut counters represent (1) additional Assets available to you
as the Field Commander and (2) major Events that could have or did occur during
the battle.
Assets represent engineers, army level artillery, independent armor and
infantry regiments/battalions, and other small units that can be temporarily
assigned to the battles that you deem important to your strategy.
Randomly drawn Events provide divisional replacements, air strikes,
interdiction teams, parachute drops, and events unique to each battle in the
Series. These Events represent unique opportunities which you can use to
influence the outcome, although you cannot count on exactly when these
opportunities will be available to you.
Another strong element of FAB is the return of Special Actions, which have
already been proven in GMT’s Europe Engulfed design to give flexible, exciting
game play. Special Actions give you tense choices in deciding how and when to
seize initiative or interfere with a sudden move by your opponent.
