## Description
Get ready to relive a tense moment from World War II with Lanzerath Ridge! This solo game puts you in the boots of a handful of American soldiers tasked with the herculean mission of holding off an entire German Panzer division on the first day of the Battle of the Bulge. It's you against the relentless advance of the enemy army, desperately trying to delay them as much as possible to buy time for the Allies. The pressure is high as your goal is to replicate historical bravery and keep the town of Lanzerath, Belgium, under control.

Lanzerath Ridge is part of the Valiant Defense series, which has already brought us intense experiences like Pavlov's House and Castle Itter. The proposal here is clear: dive into real stories of courage, with accessible rules and quick-playing sessions, without sacrificing strategic depth. You'll manage your limited action points, roll dice to resolve combat, and pay close attention to line of sight and point-to-point troop movement. The game is divided into four attack periods, each with its own enemy cards, and each turn has two crucial phases. The end is imminent if your soldiers' morale drops to zero or if the Germans capture your positions. Success is measured by remaining morale, intelligence gathered, and objectives met. It's an immersive experience that demands difficult decisions with every play.
