Flames of War: D-Day Mar 10 2007

D-Day is Flames of War's first Campaign Book. It is an introduction to the Normandy Campaign from D-Day, 6 June 1944, to the liberation of Paris on 25 August 1944, plus a resource of gaming rules and ideas to allow you to really get your teeth into playing Flames Of War in Normandy!

The book contains:
· History of the Normandy Campaign
· Rules for amphibious assaults
· Rules for bocage fighting
· Hit the Beach mission
· Utah Beach scenario
· Sword Beach scenario
· Rules for Hobart’s Funnies
· The Bréville Gap axis of attack campaign
· Cutting the Cotentin axis of attack campaign
· Normandy Modelling tips and ideas

As you can see, there are no new organisations or units and only a couple of new pieces of equipment because that is not what this book is about. It’s all about setting the scene and gaming in Normandy (at least a tabletop representation of it!).


Setting the Scene

The book contains a pocket history of D-day and the subsequent three month long campaign to break out of Normandy.
Every major American, British and German operation is covered along with the way they related to each other and to the bigger picture. All-in-all, it is an excellent place to start if you are new to this fascinating campaign.


Amphibious Assaults

What would D-Day be without the landings. The new mission allows you to storm the beaches of Normandy: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. Can you get ashore fast enough and in sufficient strength to breach Hitler’s Atlantikwall and capture your objectives inland before the inevitable counterattack arrives?

The scenarios for Sword and Utah Beaches give you the opportunity to command the actual forces that landed there or the outnumbered defenders, fighting to hold their positions against the inrushing Allied tide. The scenarios guarantee tense games as the fate of the United Nations hangs in the balance.
