Clash of the Ardennes

From Elwin Klappe Board Games:

Both players are sitting in front of each other and choose a side (Allied or German). All the units, all with their own capabilities, are placed next to the battlefield. You build up your army, starting from your side 1 of the 7 roads, so you can reach the end of a road. Did you reach the other side? Perfect, you have conquered this road! Your secret Objective card describes which roads you need to conquer to win the game. In each round you have 4 action points to spend. For example, if you place a unit, it will cost you 1 action point. As soon as opposing units 'touch' each other, a 'clash' takes place and the strongest unit wins. By thinking tactically, thinking ahead and placing your units cleverly, each game will be tense, and the tide can turn in seconds.

Clash of the Ardennes is easy to learn, no need for historical knowledge and is a guaranteed success on a weekend evening, accompanied with a good glass of beer or wine.
