About the game
What you do in a play session
If you're already a fan of the Memoir '44 series and crave more battlefield action, the Hedgerow Hell expansion is your ticket! This gem includes a massive, ready-to-play map with pre-printed terrain and obstacles. Just add your miniatures and dive into the fight! It features two brand-new Overlord scenarios: "Hedgerow Hell" and "The Cadets of Saumur," focusing on intense combat in Normandy. To top it off, you get six new Dodge truck miniatures, adding that extra layer of realism and strategic depth.
The map itself is a highlight, incredibly detailed and measuring 57 x 27.5 inches, perfect for those who enjoy large-scale battles. Everything you need is printed right on it, including scenario rules, terrain and unit summaries, and a touch of historical background to set the mood. This expansion is ideal for home gaming sessions with friends or at board game events, accommodating 2 to 8 players.
To play, you'll need one copy of the base Memoir '44 game and the Operation Overlord expansion. Alternatively, you can use two copies of the base game. Language dependency is minimal, with very little text on the cards, making it quite accessible even for non-native English speakers. Get ready to relive crucial moments of World War II with more maps, more scenarios, and a whole lot more fun!
