Monty's D-Day (1985)

About this game

Tactical/operational simulation of the British sector of the Normandy Invasion, 1944. Game scale : 1 hex = 1 Km., 1 turn = 2 hours. Most units are battalions with some companies. Game starts with placement of airborne units (Br. Airborne attacks of the night) and then amphibious operations. Objective is to reach Caen and do better than Montgomery in the actual battle. Casualties do not count towards victory. Note that Against the Odds Magazine is producing an upgraded version of the game, compatible with their earlier "Bradley's D-Day." http://www.atomagazine.com/Details.cfm?ProdID=164

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.6/5 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.
