Overview

"Hurtgen Forest is a simulation on the battalion/regiment level, of the combat between U.S. and German forces near the Belgian border in November of 1944." (from the Hurtgen Forest rules folder.)

Hurtgen Forest is one of four games included in the West Wall Quadrigame set. The game includes a 17" x 22" three-color map, 100 counters and and Exclusive rules folder. A Standard rules folder, containing rules common to all four games included in the Quadrigame is also included.

Game mechanics are a simple movement-combat system with hard zones of control that promote "surround and destroy" tactics.

Two scenarios are provided, a historical scenario and a Free Deployment scenario. The historical scenario "...covers the U.S. offensive through the Hurtgen forest in an effort to breakout into the Roer Plain to the east."
