About this game

An introductory/simple/light wargame covering the invasion of France at the Normandy beaches on June 6, 1944, and the first week's fighting. The boxed game includes a 16 x 23.5" full-color, mounted map board in two pieces, 100 die-cut counters, rules booklet, and six-sided die.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
