About the game
If you thought you knew Memoir '44, get ready for an epic leap in scale! Memoir '44: D-Day Landings arrives to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Normandy landings, and it's not playing around. Forget those quick battles on a single map; here, the fun is on a massive scale with six giant maps featuring the 'Extended Breakthrough' format. This means the battlefield is much deeper, with 23 hexes of depth, allowing for a scope of combat never before possible in the base game. You can dive into specific scenarios, such as the landings at Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, or Sword Beach, or even the American Airborne jumps. The coolest part is the modularity: you can play a single battle or connect the maps for double, triple, or even sextuple-map battles! Just imagine: with enough players and components, you can assemble a colossal board that recreates the entire Normandy coastline. It's a dream for any wargame fan wanting to feel the true weight of the Allied invasion. But heads up, it's not just plug-and-play: to enjoy all this glory, you'll need the Memoir '44 base game plus the Terrain Pack, Equipment Pack, and Winter Wars expansions. It's a massive upgrade for franchise fans looking to turn the game into a total warfare experience. If you're looking for historical immersion and a battlefield that truly feels like a vast war zone, this is your next big challenge!
