How it feels

A deliberate, methodical turn-based wargame that immerses you in the strategic planning of historical Normandy battles.

What players say

Players praise the game as a solid wargame with simple but effective rules, a strong action point system that forces prioritization, and a historically grounded campaign map. The small scenarios feel like a slugfest, and the game is no longer supported after its developer went under and a publisher took over. Reviews split on value, with some calling it too basic or expensive for what it offers.
