About this expansion

Warfighter: WWII Expansion #50 – Bastogne is a 56-card expansion for Warfighter WWII Missions, supporting 1–6 players and offering a listed play time of 90 minutes. Released in 2019, it brings the strategic crossroads of Bastogne and the winter fighting of December 1944 to the game.

On December 16, 1944, the German army launched its last major offensive in the West. The offensive aimed to break through American lines and advance toward the Meuse, while Bastogne became critical to the operation because of its strategic road junction.

The expansion draws on the siege of Bastogne and the events surrounding its relief. On December 26, advanced elements of the US 4th Armored Division reached Bastogne, officially lifting the siege. The setting also recalls Brigadier General Anthony McAuliffe of the 101st Airborne and his famous response: “Nuts!”
