Description

The Greatest Day: Sword, Juno, and Gold Beaches is a World War II wargame that drops you into the midst of the battle of Normandy in 1944. Designed by Adam Starkweather, this game is perfect for history buffs and strategy enthusiasts alike, supporting 2 to 8 players for a playtime that can range from 60 minutes to several days. With its complex rules and engaging mechanics, including a chit-pull system, dice rolling, and a hexagon grid, you'll need to invest some time in learning how to play, but it's well worth the effort. As you navigate the British/Canadian sector from June 5th to June 13th, you'll experience the intensity of wartime operations, with each game turn representing 2 hours of daytime or 8 hours of nighttime. With units ranging from platoon to company, you'll need to strategize and make tactical decisions to outmaneuver your opponents. First published in 2015, this base game is a great introduction to the series and offers a unique gaming experience that will keep you coming back for more.
