Second Front Now! (1997)

About this game

(from the rules:) Second Front Now is a wargame simulating a hypothetical Allied invasion of France in September 1943. The design combines factual historical detail with educated guesswork to produce an alternative history simulation covering the period from D-Day+1 to D-Day+80. The game uses a system similar to that used for their D-Day (historical) and Sea Lion games. Originally published in Command magazine #44 (Aug 1997)

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 2. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.7/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
