About the game
Hey gamers! Ready to supercharge your D-Day Dice experience? The 'War Stories' expansion packs a punch with tons of new content to make your games even more epic and full of twists. It features six modules you can mix and match, each adding its own unique flavor. Dive into 'War Stories,' which are mini-scenarios with wild objectives and table effects, like artillery barrages or rising tides! Imagine finding dead officers on the beach while the sea creeps in. Then there are the 'Legendary Units,' where each player embodies a real historical unit from the Normandy landings, complete with exclusive specialists and items only they can wield. Each unit also boasts unique bonuses that shake up gameplay and boost replayability. Want more? There's the 'Poland' color option to add a fifth player or just for extra flair, bringing its own specialists and bonuses. And don't forget the 'Servicemen'! These individual soldiers pop up to lend a hand, offering extra dice results to help you meet objectives. For those craving a twist, there's the 'Last Man Standing' mode, where you start with a full unit and lose men each turn – can you hold out until the end? This expansion is for anyone who wants more D-Day Dice, more strategy, and more tales to tell after the battle!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the base D-Day Dice game to play with the War Stories expansion?
Yes, absolutely! The expansion adds content to the base game, so you need the base game to play.
How many players does this expansion support?
The expansion adds the option for a fifth player (black color) and also includes a campaign mode that can support up to 8 players, but this requires two copies of the base game.
Does the expansion add a lot of complexity to the game?
It introduces new modules and mechanics, which can increase complexity. However, the modules are independent and can be added gradually, allowing you to control the complexity level.
What kind of new content does the expansion bring?
The expansion brings six different modules: short scenarios with specific objectives (War Stories), legendary units with unique abilities, a new color for a fifth player, servicemen cards, a 'Last Man Standing' mode, and an extended campaign mode.
Is this expansion good for someone new to D-Day Dice?
It might be a bit much for absolute beginners. It's best to have a grasp of the base game first. You can introduce the simpler modules gradually to avoid overwhelm.
Can the expansion modules be played separately or do they need to be combined?
Each of the six modules is independent and can be played on its own or combined with other modules and the base game, offering a lot of flexibility.
