This set features detailed miniatures in winter gear, perfect for recreating battles like Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. Designed for Flames of War, it combines historical accuracy with versatile gameplay.
he 101st Airborne Division played a pivotal role during the Battle of the Bulge, particularly in the defense of Bastogne. Surrounded by German forces in the bitter cold of December 1944, the division, under acting commander Brigadier General Anthony McAuliffe, held their ground despite being outnumbered and undersupplied. When the Germans demanded their surrender, McAuliffe famously replied with a single word: "Nuts." This defiance inspired the troops to persevere through relentless artillery bombardments and attacks. The division's tenacious defense bought crucial time for General Patton’s Third Army to break the siege, marking a turning point in the battle and securing the Allies' path to victory in Europe. Their bravery and resilience cemented the 101st Airborne's legacy as one of the most legendary units of World War II.
