D-Day (1991)

About this game

D-Day (Smithsonian Edition) is a re-designed, simplified version of the original 'classic' Avalon Hill D-Day- which had two versions as well: D-Day (1961) and D-Day (1977). It is one of The Avalon Hill Game Co's game in their Smithsonian Series. Two scenarios, one historical and one "what if", are covered by basic and optional rules. A complete historical background and list of weapons, tanks, and aircraft is included.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 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.
