The Main Game Features includes: • Game is turn-based, using the I GO U GO system, each player taking one side (sides involve sometimes more than one nation). • The map is divided into numerous regions, with various terrains and sometimes structures (ports, fortresses, airports ...), and potentially sources of income when necessary. • When maintenance and purchase of forces is needed, or to acquire new event cards, a simple income system is activated. • Combat units may be from the land, naval or air domains. You will find different types, such as infantry, cavalry, artillery, guerrillas, submarines, flat tops, fighters, elephants, anti-aircraft batteries, etc ... All of which can be combined into different stacks for easy handling. • Leaders are crucial in the game, as they have three main usages: first they give bonus to the base combat values of their stacks, second their morale values are use to check victory or defeat levels, and lastly they are necessary to launch attacks on the enemy. • Two opposing stacks in the same region generate a battle, which is resolved in a semi-tactical way in two successive rounds. The game automatically calculates the various bonus and penalties of sides, their respective morale levels, allows for event cards play, and they each combat unit of each side shoots simultaneously (in most cases) at the enemy. Losses are taken in terms of hits and panics. The moral level of the initial army affected by the losses and panics suffered, which in turn may lead to rout, pursuit and breakthroughs. • Multiple Events Cards packs are granted to each side, that they will use to influence all aspects of the game, such as alliances, income, movement, weather, leadership, number and quality of troops and finally many tactical aspects for the battles. This ensures both a real uncertainty in the game and a great replayability potential. The application contains the scenario Normandy 1944.

It looks like all battles aren’t free Asp Well-Known Member Aug 3, 2017 769 196 43 #3 Asp, Feb 1, 2019 Two dollars buy the base game and one battle (D-Day 1944). Additional battles are one dollar each. Note: This is a digital representation of a board wargame with map, counters, 10 sided die and 116 page rulebook. A basic tutorial is included and, of course, calculations are automated. Not for the casual gamer.

Did anyone see an IAP where I can buy all battles or are they just sold separately at $0,99 and $2,99 for Berlin ? Asp Well-Known Member Aug 3, 2017 769 196 43 #5 Asp, Feb 1, 2019 Good spot! I didn’t notice Berlin at $2.99. Must be a big map. There’s no IAP showing for all battles, probably because the devs intend to release further battles regularly. From what I’ve seen so far of Normandy, the random event card system should provide a fair amount of replayablity for each scenario. MetaGonzo Well-Known Member May 7, 2009 1,459 271 83 #6 MetaGonzo, Feb 1, 2019 Interesting, certainly. Need to see some gameplay really. Asp Well-Known Member Aug 3, 2017 769 196 43 #7 Asp, Feb 1, 2019 This is old school wargaming so there is little to see! Just the movement of cardboard counters on a map. The counters have numerical values for attack, movement and morale. Each turn has a series of phases:- Card draw phase Reinforcement phase Supply Air movement Land movement Battles Secondary air movement End turn Fairly easy really as these types of boardgame go. The rules make it seem more complicated than it is. Unfortunately the tutorial is not great at explaining the process. JP Falcon Active Member Sep 27, 2013 42 1 8 #8 JP Falcon, Feb 6, 2019 Last edited: Feb 7, 2019 This game reminds me of Wars and Battles which also had the Normandy scenario as its starting point. They promised quite a number of scenarios for future purchase but only added one more before closing up shop. It is good to see this game has a number of scenarios already completed so my confidence is not deterred by the previous experience. Gameplay wise, there is a similarity to the Shenandoah series of games such as Drive to Moscow, area movement as opposed to hex based combat. With the addition of card management there might be some replayability present which would be cool. I bought a number of the scenarios and have seen a variety of gameplay differences between them, so they are not just cookie cutter mechanics applied to different skins. I believe this will be a worthy game to spend time with. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
