Description

"June ’44" is a low complexity, highly interactive game that allows players to recreate the invasion of Normandy by Allied forces in June of 1944.

The game features hidden unit placements and player-influenced events which combine to make every play a unique experience, and also instills a sense of the uncertainty of combat which confronted the historical commanders.

These same game mechanics also make the game highly challenging and enjoyable for the solitaire player.

Scale: 2-day turns, 2.5 miles per hex, units are mostly divisions.

Components:

12-page Color Rulebook
11" x 17" Hex-grid Map Sheet
120 Color, Die-Cut Counters
2-sided Player Aid Card
24 June '44 Event Cards
1 10-sided die

When combined with its expansion August '44, players can play the entire Normandy campaign from 6 June to mid-August.
