The largest amphibious landing in history went better than its planners dared to hope. Yet weeks later the Allies had only liberated a small sliver of Normandy. Over fifty years later debate still rages as to why. Battles in Normandy recreates all aspects of the Normandy campaign, from the landings on the first day to the final climax of the campaign at Falaise.

Two monster campaign scenarios, D-Day to Cobra and Cobra to Falaise plus eight smaller scenarios will cover every important aspect of this critical campaign. Battles in Normandy features a new Decisive Battles game engine with a host of special new rules for amphibious and airborne operations, plus a huge number of other enhancements.

AVAILABILITY

Available Second Quarter 2004

We’re sorry to have to announce that Battles in Normandy will not now be available until the second quarter of 2004. The slip in the delivery date is essentially due to all the new features we are adding to the Decisive Battles game system, which are just taking more time than expected to implement. Naturally, we don’t want to leave any of the features out, so we’ll just have to take the extra time to finish the game. We will be explaining the new features of the game prior to release, so keep checking these pages for an update.
