Race For Bastogne is a Grand Tactical Series (GTS) game that covers one sliver in the history of the Battle of the Bulge. On 16 December 1944, the Germans launched their great offensive through the Ardennes. The XLVII Panzer Corps attacked with the 2. Panzer Division and 26. Volksgrenadier Division, reinforced by the Panzer Lehr Division. Defending was part of the 110th Infantry Regiment of the 28th Infantry Division. It should have been a blitzkrieg through the thin defenses but stubborn resistance, the terrain, and the well-managed commitment of American reinforcements caused the German attack to fail to take Bastogne just as the 101st Airborne Division arrived. Even as German forces by-passed Bastogne to extend the “Bulge,” the 101st was hard pressed to defend the critical crossroads town.
Race For Bastogne simulates the German XLVII Corps attack across the Our River through the 110th Infantry Regiment, the delaying actions by Combat Command Reserve, 9th Armored Division, and Combat Command B, 10th Armored Division, followed by the defense of Bastogne by the 101st Airborne Division. The game covers the night of 15 December to the night of 25 December 1944. The German initially commands three “divisions” and the American two “divisions” on two maps laid end to end.
Race For Bastogne includes one Campaign Game and six scenarios; five of these use a single map (or portions of a single map), and the sixth uses both maps.

2-La segunda (bombazo en mi opinión),la cual, acaban de hacerla oficial hace unas pocas horas, es que van a sacar una adaptacion de fichas y cartas de ayuda (counters y charts) de los 2 juegos de la serie relacionados con la operacion Market Garden, The Devil's Cauldron (TDC) y Where Eagles Dare (WED), de forma que se pase de la originales reglas GTS1.1 a las estandarizadas en el resto de los juegos de la serie GTS 2.X (X porque al igual que las reglas de las otras series de juegos de MMP ;SCS OCS,BCS;van actualizando pero no de forma tan drástica como para que los fichas y cartas quedaran obsoletas). http://www.multimanpublishing.com/News/ ... .aspx#news http://talk.consimworld.com/WebX/.ee6f82c

GTS: A Magnificent Disaster - Wednesday, August 15, 2018
In honor of the upcoming 75th anniversary of Operation Market-Garden, Multi-Man Publishing is pleased to make the following game announcement:
With the success of the rules updates to the Grand Tactical Series (GTS) introduced in The Greatest Day: Sword, Juno, and Gold and solidified in Operation Mercury, we have received requests to update The Devil's Cauldron (TDC) and Where Eagles Dare (WED) to these more recent rules. MMP is working closely with the GTS creative team to redevelop these two classics as a single game with updated counters, rules, charts, and maps, in order to provide a single, definitive company-level game on the Market-Garden campaign in time for the 75th anniversary of September 1944.
We will place the combined game (working title: A Magnificent Disaster) on preorder shortly, with the intent of securing sufficient preorders to publish next September. Since the maps require very little revision, we will provide a less expensive option for those who are looking merely to upgrade their current copies of TDC and WED. This boxed update kit will include all the counters, rules, and charts but not the maps.
This combined game will be the largest single game MMP has ever produced, and represents what we think will be the final word on Market Garden at the company level.
We will continue to offer the existing preorder for a reprint of The Devil's Cauldron (using the original GTS 1.0 rules). As a bonus to those who have been patiently waiting for that reprint, we will offer a slight discount on the combined preorder for any customers who wish to switch from the original preorder to this new one.
2.1 Sacan un nuevo juego A Magnificent Disaster que recopila los 2 anteriores arriba mencionados, en un único juego , bajo el sistema de reglas GTS 2.X y que incluye todo (mapas, counters y charts), y con intención de sacar preorder para este mismo septiembre.
2.3 Sacan actualización de counters y charts para todos aquellos que tuvieran The Devil's Cauldron (TDC) o Where Eagles Dare (WED) y quieran poder juegar con las reglas GTS 2.X. además de las GTS 1.1 que vinieron con el juego original.
3-Tercera , no es oficial , pero la segunda parte de la trilogía de The Greatest Day:Utah ya está en fase de playtesteo,según las imagenes que van publicando en consimworld, y en mi opinión dudo que salga más tarde que Race For Bastogne
Spoiler:
Recopilando, la serie GTS quedaría de esta manera:
The Devil's Cauldron: The Battles for Arnhem and Nijmegen (2008) 2reprint(2017)
Reglamento GTS 1.1 (con counters y charts antiguos)
Reglamento GTS 2.X (con counters y charts nuevos) https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/153 ... d-nijmegen
The Greatest Day: Utah Beach (¿2019?)
Reglamento GTS 2.X
The Greatest Day: Omaha Beach (¿202x?)

Por otra parte me gustaría agradecer a todos los compañeros de foro que altruistamente dedican mucho de su tiempo a que los demás podamos darle al cartón de manera mucho más sencilla gracias a sus AAR, video-tutoriales, traducción de reglamentos etc
Espacialmente quiero agradecérselo a Espinete,Haplo,Joselillo,Ostwind,Valdemaras,LordSpain y muchos otros que injustamente no cito.
Pero especialmente quiero agradecerle la inmensa labor que realizó durante muchísimos años, al muy grande FELIPE SANTAMARÍA , que como alguna vez se ha dicho , hizo más por los wargames de tablero en español que todas las distribuidoras juntas.
