This is also the kind of game that could really only be designed with the iPad in mind. Doing it for the PC would lead to feature creep very quickly and PC wargamers have come to expect things to be bigger and broader there. It’s not an unreasonable expectation. But the modest size of the iPad screen makes every sector of real estate important, the UI crystal clear (this is a well-documented game) and adjusts expectations to the right size.
Now, to be clear, I am NOT saying that this is a good wargame “for an iPad wargame”. I am saying that it is so unlike most of the wargames you find on the PC that if a studio made up of nobodies did this game in Flash, I doubt anybody would notice the brilliant blend of mechanics and theme.
Finley writes - "During the back end of WW2, at a time when Hitler was having his last throw of the dice, the iconic Battle of the Bulge took place - the last major German offensive in its western theatre. The fast paced WW2 video-game Battle of the Bulge will relieve many of the scenarios around Western Europe, in the snow-covered forest of the Ardennes, and it is available right now on Xbox One."

Battle of the Bulge has several things going for it, from a clean interface and a solid multiplayer system. However, it sacrifices some depth in favor of a kinder learning curve. The end result is a fun and accessible strategy game that lacks some of the replay value of deeper strategy titles.
