Bulge, subtitled The Battle for the Ardennes, 16 Dec. 44 to 2 Jan. 45, is a board wargame published by Simulations Publications Inc in 1980, designed by Jim Dunnigan with graphic design by Redmond A. Simonsen. It simulates the German offensive of December 1944 known as the Battle of the Bulge, the last major German counteroffensive of the Second World War on the Western Front. SPI reissued the same design later in 1980 under the title The Big Red One: The Game of the First Infantry Division at the Battle of the Bulge, for a two-player audience contesting the German and American sides.
