Es un juego independiente que se centrará en la campaña del Bulge y operaciones del frente Oeste. Cubre de Octubre de 1944 a enero de 1945.
Tendrá un módulo de expansión hasta el fin en la Guerra de febrero a mayo de 1945 en Alemania.
Tendrá una campaña de entrenamiento, una campaña americana centrada en el BULGE y una campaña alemana centrada en el KampGruppe Peiper. También traerá 20 escenarios y un pack grande de mapas para Batallas Rápidas. Todos ellos relacionados principalmente con la Batalla del Bulge. (Este parece el Standard de BTF para sus juegos de CM, ya introducido en CMRT y CMBS).
El juego funciona con el motor 3.0 del CMx2.
Copio la Info que han puesto en BTF (en inglés).
Basic Info:
Covers October 1944 - January 1945
This is a separate game from CMBN, NOT a module or expansion of CMBN!
The emphasis is obviously on the Battle for the Bulge, but other western front operations are also in play, including the Hürtgen Forest, Aachen, Nordwind, etc.
A future Module will expand the game all the way to VE-Day, focusing on operations within Germany from February to May.
Features:
Bulge will use Engine 3.0 for CMx2, which is the same engine version used for Red Thunder and Black Sea. All applicable new features from those titles will be rolled together into Bulge. That includes mounted vehicle mortars on-map and... tank riders for American/German vehicles are in!
Content:
1 Training campaign.
1 American campaign - the current plan is something revolving around Bastogne.
1 German campaign covering KG Peiper.

There are also a number of master maps being made of some famous areas in the Bulge.
