Well i borrowed 'Battle of the Bulge' at the close action game and when i got home i remembered i have this film:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0373283/

Really is a bloody fantastic battle of the bulge film, the kit is top nothc, its realistic and very human.

I think all the extras are re-enacters hence the spot on kit.

Seriously try and watch it before Sunday guys.

ah yeah it was a fiver at HMV recently I picked it up too.

A continuity error or two and a bit of a weak plot but otherwise top notch and well worth a fiver. Better than When Trumpets Call (HBO crap)

Well its a million times better than 'battle of the bulge' :)

I thougth it was great more of an extended epsiode of BoB than a real massive movie but very human and spot on kit!

Two running 251s... even Spielberg could only get one.

It was more the fact that at one point they have capture german weapons and suddenly they have M1 Garands :)

I think the Germans they killed in the half track had some of the captured weapons taken from the us prisoners at Malmedy, loads of real ww2 Germans prefered the superior US kit :lol:
