Battleground: Ardennes was reviewed in PC Gamer US, which rated the game 91% and stated "All in all, a most auspicious debut. I eagerly await future releases in the Battleground Series."[3]

Terry Coleman of Computer Gaming World noted that it was "rare that a new wargame company makes much of a splash in terms of units sold, but TalonSoft is off to a solid start with this title."[4]

PC Gamer US nominated Bulge-Ardennes for its 1995 "Best Wargame" award, although it lost to Steel Panthers.[5]

gollark: It'll vary as it grows older. I integrated that EATW formula thing so that if an egg gets 1.5x the optimal view/uv/click score it'll be removed.
gollark: Which is good, because I don't think I have the network bandwidth for that many.
gollark: You need 400UV or so to hatch things (maybe less). Guess what YAH doesn't have? 400 active users.
gollark: It won't work too well.
gollark: A melismor... ***OF DOOM***.
