## Description
Listen up, everyone! Memoir '44: Breakthrough isn't a new game, but rather an expansion that supercharges your base Memoir '44 experience. Imagine diving headfirst into epic World War II battles, like landing on Sword Beach to secure the Orne bridges, commanding German Panzers against the British, or even facing Rommel in the North African desert during Operation Crusader. This expansion brings two massive boards (each 13x17 hexes!), which are double-sided and cover all the Memoir '44 environments: countryside, beach, winter, and desert. The cool part is that these maps are larger than the standard ones, creating space for more expansive and action-packed scenarios. It includes 15 brand-new scenarios, meticulously crafted by experts (Jacques David and Richard Borg), covering fronts like the Western, Eastern, Mediterranean, and even the Pacific. Get ready to relive crucial moments of the war in a more immersive and challenging way, using the classic Memoir '44 mechanics we know and love: dice rolling for combat resolution and hand management to dictate your troops' pace. It's for those who want more map, more scenarios, and more war!
