Overview

One-Page Bulge is an Operational level board-wargame created by Steve Jackson as an attempt to produce a workable simulation of the World War II "Battle of the Bulge" with only an A4 side of rules. The game comes in the micro-game format (basically a plastic box approx 10cm x 20cm x 1cm), with a single sheet of glossy paper about A3, including the map and rule sheet, that needs to be cut apart with scissors, and a card of counters (about 9cm x 18cm) that also needs to be separated with scissors or a knife.
