Despite a spirited defense from the opening hours of the Normandy invasion in June 1944, Germany’s forces in northern France were comprehensively defeated and forced to retreat westward. Although their position was strengthened considerably following Operation Dragoon – the landing in southern France in August 1944 – the Allies were faced with considerable logistical problems as they advanced towards Germany, spreading their lines of communications and support thinner with every mile.

Operation Market Garden, the massive airborne assault of September 1944, failed to meet its objectives and the momentum of the Allied advance was further threatened.

German forces were able to capitalize on this and with mounting pressure from the east as Soviet forces prepared for a winter offensive, Germany decided to launch one last gamble – a massive counter offensive against the Allies in December 1944. The German assault (including 45-divisions) launched against American defenders dug in across the Ardennes region led to the largest single battle fought by the US Army in the entire twentieth century. The stakes could not have been higher for either side – for Germany it truly was a last attempt to avoid being completely overwhelmed by the Western Allies, whilst for the American forces bearing the brunt of the assault, there was a very real threat that a German breakthrough could have undone all of the successes since D-Day.

Code named Operation Watch on the Rhine by German forces, the initial successes of the campaign led to a worrying and distinctive bulge in the Allied front line, leading to the Allied press giving the offensive an immortal moniker: The Battle of the Bulge.

Inside Battle Of the Bulge

Battle Of The Bulge is a campaign expansion to Bolt Action & compatible with both 1st and 2nd editions.

Everything you need to explore one of the most complex series of engagements in the European Theatre of Operations is within the 124 pages of this full colour book.

The Battle Of The Bulge campaign book is divided into easy sections that take a brief look at a particular historical time frame, the combatants involved (including any special characters that made an appearance) - then move on to introduce the special Bolt Action scenario, with any special rule or new units clearly explained, along with the recommended force selectors to use when preparing your forces.

All Sales (including Pre-orders) are Final. One of the ways that we are able to provide competitive prices and free shipping on many orders is by ensuring our order accuracy and by making smart inventory purchases on our end.

We understand that sometimes orders are placed by mistake, whether you purchased the wrong quantity of something, used the wrong payment method, etc. Because we ship out items very quickly in most cases we can only accommodate a short cancellation period. We prefer if you can contact us to cancel the order immediately before we pull it off the shelf and pay for postage. For orders that do not contain a pre-ordered item we require SAME DAY cancellation. For orders that contain a pre-ordered item you have 48 hours from the time the order is submitted to cancel it.

You can always contact us for any question at customersupport@baxtersrealm.com

Preorders

When you make a purchase that is a pre-sale or a pre-order of an item, we are not able to ship that item to you until the manufacturer allows us to mail it out. Please check each individual item for the estimated release date for it before placing your order. Please note that we are not in control of the official release dates as a retailer, and these sometimes change due to manufacturer issues, distribution or supply chain problems, etc. They are based on actual dates provided to us either directly by the product manufacturer or our designated distributor. Sometimes there are production delays or shipping delays that can push these dates further back than what was originally projected by the manufacturer or distributor, and those are outside of our control as a retailer.

Orders that contain multiple items with a preorder will be subject to a hold until the last release date of any preordered items. If you place an order containing currently available products AND preorder items we will not ship your currently available items until your preorder is ready. If you would like your currently available items sooner, just place separate orders so we can calculate shipping properly and send out your available items right away.

Wrong Item
Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.

Exceptions / non-returnable items
Certain types of items cannot be returned. Please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your specific item.

Exchanges
The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.

Refunds
Refunds only apply if we shipped you the incorrect item. We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method. Shopify Payments can take approximately 7-10 business days to process, depending on your financial institution. This timeframe is completely outside of our control as a retailer. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.

No Guarantees of Future Value

We make no guarantee or claims about the future value of any items sold. With collectibles in particular, these markets can fluctuate up and down in price, and Baxter's Games does not make any predictions or claims or any future value. By purchasing an item through our store, you are in agreement that the terms of that purchase (including final price) are fair, and that you understand that the value may change up or down at a later date. Market prices are outside of our control, and we cannot be held liable for any positive or negative fluctuations in the market.

Only Purchase What You Can Afford

Please make responsible purchases. Do not buy more than you can afford at the time of purchase, and do not commit to buy something that you do not have the ability to pay for. We do not recommend purchasing more than you need. We hate to see when people purchase large quantities of items based on speculation, or based on using future earnings to cover the cost of. In the end, we are selling toys, books, games, and things that are for entertainment purposes only. We are not selling investments, or any goods that are meant for re-sale or re-distribution.

USPS Insurance on Domestic Orders

If you would like to have your package insured by the USPS it is YOUR responsibility to pay for the insurance. We have included this option at checkout called either "First Class with Insurance" for items that do not qualify for our Free Standard Shipping, or "Add Insurance to Free Shipping" for those that wish to insure the packages that qualify for our Free Standard Shipping. The fees are calculated based on the item's values in your purchase and the price that USPS charges for those insurance rates. If you DO NOT choose to insure your package, we do not arbitrarily add it to any orders that we mail out.

USPS or other carrier claims for lost, stolen, or damaged packages

It is YOUR responsibility to file a claim with USPS or the other applicable carrier if your package has been lost, stolen, or damaged. If the package says it was delivered but it never showed up, your local carrier needs to investigate where they placed the package and correct their mistake. If the package was stolen, that means that a crime occurred (crimes are not a Customer Service issue, they are a legal matter), and you need to report crimes like that to your local law enforcement as well as your mail carrier. If you are the victim of a crime, YOU have to open the case yourself, we cannot advocate for you. If the package was damaged during shipping, please photograph the package before opening it, and retain all packaging until the postal carrier has closed its case on your claim. It is your responsibility to open a claim with the mail carrier since you are the one in possession of the damaged product and you have all of the applicable evidence.

You can file your claim with USPS here: https://www.usps.com/help/claims.htm
