D-Day (3rd Edition) (1977)

About this game

It is an Intermediate 1 level game on the The Avalon Hill Game Co Complexity Scale for 2 players aged 12 & up with a varying playing time of 1-4 hours. D-DAY belongs to the The Avalon Hill Game Co family of classic games suitable for play-by-mail in much the same fashion as chess.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.5/5 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.
