About the game
Hey board game enthusiasts! Ready for another dose of history and strategy with Memoir '44? 'Disaster at Dieppe' is the fourth and final expansion in the Battle Map series, and it's here to supercharge your World War II battles. If you're a fan of Memoir '44, get ready for grand-scale scenarios and new features that will make the game even more dynamic.

This gem includes two Overlord scenarios, perfect for those who crave a large-scale experience, and four standard scenarios playable on the regular Memoir '44 board. To add that special touch, it comes with six half-track miniatures (Sd.Kfz. 250) and six jeep miniatures (Willys). These aren't just for show – they introduce new rules for long-range patrols and tactical transport, giving your vehicles a crucial role in your campaigns!

The scenarios delve into significant moments: the daring (and ill-fated) Operation Jubilee in Dieppe, occupied France, and the intense capture of Tobruk in Libya, featuring Rommel's Afrika Korps. The printed maps come pre-set with all terrain and obstacles, making setup a breeze. This expansion is ideal for players seeking more variety and challenges within the Memoir '44 universe, especially for those who enjoy team play and larger player counts (up to 8!). If you want to dive headfirst into WWII with a game that's easy to learn yet full of tactical depth, 'Disaster at Dieppe' is a must-have. Prepare your commanders, and let's head to battle!
