Dedication:

Ardennes Petite (Ardennes Small): A Battle of the Bulge, Ardennes 1944, Minigame is dedicated ...
A. to the officers and men of the U.S. and British Armies and the U.S. Army Air Force, who fought and stopped Hitler's last desperate attempt to stave off the defeat and eliminaton of Nazism ... and himself.
B. with special remembrance of longtime family friend Chester A. Schultz (who won 2 Bronze Stars in the Battle of the Bulge), Ray Soleau (uncle of my old Alaska friend Paul DeSloover, who died in his P-51 Mustang fighter bomber on 25Jan45), and Ivan Bull (who was a sergeant in the 99th "Checkerboard" Infantry Division - also known as "The Diaper Division" and "The Battle Babies," because of its GIs' young age - which played a key role in holding the northern shoulder of the Bulge, preventing the SS panzer spearheads from breaking through to Spa and Liege).
C. to my children Rebecca, Robert, Rohan, and Johanna, in the hope that they may never have to go through a world war:

The more we learn about the Second World War, the better our chances that it will be the LAST world war.

• Rules in Rich Text Format. These will probably be revised frequently, with feedback. I'm posting their date on them.
  The current format is A4 paper size, Landscape configuration, with .2"/6mm margins.
  You will want to print the units off at maximum size possible and then photo-reduce them from that, for best detail/quality. 5/8"--15mm--square for the infantry is about right. Allied units should be printed/photocopied off onto light green or khaki (or NATO good guy light blue) paper/cardstock, for mounting on the back of blue-backed posterboard or (better) matte board. German units should be printed/photocopied off onto light gray (or NATO bad guy pink) for mounting on the back of red (bad guy) posterboard or matte board.
• U.S.and British units, slightly revised, 4Aug14
• German units
  , slightly revised, 4Aug14
• And for the Latin-impaired, Arabic corps/korps numerals:
  • U.S.and British units
  • German units
• My point-to-point Ardennes Petite gamemap, revised, 4Aug14.
  You will want to print this off as large as possible, and you should enlarge it with a photocopier after that. White is a good paper color, considering the battle was in the snow. I will be improving these .jpgs from time to time, but unless I have committed a major oversight somehow the map will stay unchanged.
• Be sure to see the game's Images section on www.BoardGameGeek.com for Patrick Tremoureux's beautiful, professional graphics renditions of the map and units.
  
• Ardennes Tournament Certificate
