I've owned and/or played close to a dozen Bulge games though and this issue keeps cropping up. It would be nice is Tigers in the Mist does address it.Seth Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12206653100499935990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799357743004909192.post-23570495374446506982008-09-01T13:39:00.000-04:002008-09-01T13:39:00.000-04:00Exactly the thing I noticed as well after my first...Exactly the thing I noticed as well after my first play. I think this is probably one of the best games out there for introducing newbs to hex-based wargames, and there are some really interesting mechanisms in the game, but the bulge just doesn't develop.<BR/><BR/>Two of my friends played FAB: The Bulge at our summer nano-con (which we jokingly call WBC-West), and they had a very similar result. The Americans won on the final battle/die-roll, but the board looked just the same - Units in a straight line across the middle of the board, some pressure from the south. <BR/><BR/>Did you ever play Tigers in the Mist? It seemed that that game added a little more space to the southern flank, but my memory may be unreliable (everyone else's is ;-).Dughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827175240352968894noreply@blogger.com
