The Enemy Action series features:
- Two-player competition with low complexity and constant decision points for both sides
- Solitaire play of either side with systems governing all aspects of enemy command and tactics
- Card-driven impulse system, with multi-purpose cards played to activate formations, implement command events, or gain tactical advantages in combat
- Diceless and chartless combat system - players draw combat chits that build a narrative of each combat
The first game in the series is Ardennes. The game portrays the German offensive against the western Allies in December 1944 -- the Battle of the Bulge. Each player controls the German or Allied side. When playing solo, the game system controls the other side. So Enemy Action: Ardennes is effectively three games in one box: the two-player game, solitaire playing the Allies, and solitaire playing the Germans.
