Description

"June ’44" is a low complexity, highly interactive game that allows players to recreate the invasion of Normandy by Allied forces in June of 1944. The game features hidden unit placements and player-influenced events which combine to make every play a unique experience, and also instills a sense of the uncertainty of combat which confronted the historical commanders. These same game mechanics also make the game highly challenging and enjoyable for the solitaire player. Scale: 2-day turns, 2.5 miles per hex, units are mostly divisions. Components: 12-page Color Rulebook 11" x 17" Hex-grid Map Sheet 120 Color, Die-Cut Counters 2-sided Player Aid Card 24 June '44 Event Cards 1 10-sided die When combined with its expansion August '44, players can play the entire Normandy campaign from 6 June to mid-August.
