About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already into the historical battles of Memoir '44 and want to supercharge your campaigns, the Equipment Pack is the way to go! This expansion is HUGE, almost the size of the base game, and it's packed with new goodies to make the battlefield even more chaotic and fun. It includes over 180 plastic miniatures, representing troops from various nations like the French, Finns, Italians, and Poles – think infantry, ski troops, artillery, and even cavalry! But it doesn't stop there: there's heavy artillery like 'Long Tom' guns and 'Screaming Meemies' rocket launchers, amphibious landing equipment (including the famous 'Hobart's Funnies'), snipers, tanks, command vehicles, and much more. All these new pieces can be used in your existing scenarios, but the pack also brings 17 new scenarios for you to explore, including 'Breakthrough' and 'Overlord' modes. For those who enjoy military strategy with a touch of luck and hand management, this expansion adds tons of tactical and visual options. Just remember you need the base game and, preferably, other expansions like the Terrain Pack and Winter/Desert to get the most out of it. Oh, and be prepared for some translation work for certain cards and rules, but it's worth it!
