Description

Memoir '44: D-Day Landings is an epic expansion that drops you right into the heart of World War II, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day. With six giant battle maps that can be mixed and matched to create small, medium, or large setups, you'll feel like you're right there on the beaches of Normandy, navigating the chaos of war. The maps are designed to be played individually or combined with neighboring scenarios for double- and triple-map battles, and if you've got enough players and components, you can link all six maps together to recreate the entire Normandy coast. The "Extended Breakthrough" format introduced in D-Day Landings is a game-changer, with maps that stretch 23 hexes deep, allowing for battles on a scale that's never been possible in Memoir '44 before. You'll be able to relive the intensity of iconic battles like Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, and Sword Beach, each with its own unique challenges and opportunities. With support for 2 to 12 players, this game is perfect for big groups or intense one-on-one showdowns, and with a playtime of 40 to 180 minutes, you can fit in a quick battle or immerse yourself in a longer campaign. Designed by Richard Borg and published in 2014, Memoir '44: D-Day Landings is a must-have for fans of the base game and anyone looking for a challenging, strategic war game experience. To get the most out of D-Day Landings, you'll need at least one copy of Memoir '44, as well as the Terrain Pack, Equipment Pack, and Winter Wars expansions, but the payoff is well worth it. With its normal complexity level, this game is easy to learn for anyone familiar with board games, and the combination of campaign and battle card-driven gameplay, dice rolling, grid movement, and hand management will keep you on your toes. Whether you're a history buff, a war game enthusiast, or just looking for a fun and challenging experience, Memoir '44: D-Day Landings is an unforgettable ride that will leave you breathless and eager for more.
