Description
Tactical/operational simulation of the British sector of the Normandy Invasion, 1944. Game scale : 1 hex = 1 Km., 1 turn = 2 hours. Most units are battalions with some companies. Game starts with placement of airborne units (Br. Airborne attacks of the night) and then amphibious operations. Objective is to reach Caen and do better than Montgomery in the actual battle. Casualties do not count towards victory. Note that Against the Odds Magazine is producing an upgraded version of the game, compatible with their earlier "Bradley's D-Day." http://www.atomagazine.com/Details.cfm?ProdID=164
