I saw When Trumpes Fade on History Television here in Canada. It's about Americans in the Battle for Hurtgen Forest, which took place about the same time as the Battle of the Bulge. Despite the extraordinarily ferocious fighting, it was overshadowed by the Ardennes Offensive.

Anyway, the movie is quite good. It's pretty bloody, Saving Private Ryan or BoB style, if I remember correctly. I also recall some good shots of German 88mm guns, but I don't think the tanks were historical. I seem to remember not knowing what they were supposed to be. The battle is in a forest, though, so you don't see tanks very often. I think it's a pretty good deal if you can get that movie with BoB, as it was not bad at all.

Nic--you fine fellows have raised my interest level considerably to see BoB. Must be pretty well done.

I recently got the round one from Grandad's (they still have a few) and am planning to get the Hex set direct from Historex soon. I've ordered from them before and was pleased with their service.

Adam--follow-up to my last post. How much did my dear friends at Graddad's charge you?
danke
