In the wargame you can play as Americans or Germans on famous World War 2 battlefield - the Battle of the Bulge. Before the battle begins you can research visible enemy troops, choose your troops, show them preferred movement direction, and choose mode (attack, defence, etc.). After that the game begins in real-time. You can pause it in any time to request supplies and change your orders. Also the game has a historical documentation on events of this battle.
Although Patton Strikes Back is unarguably the worst game of Crawford's career, it was a novel (and noble) attempt to attract non-wargamers to the fray through simplified combat, colorful animations, and excellent help functions and database. A commendable effort that would not be taken up again until SSI's phenomenal Panzer General.
