From the opening minutes of D-Day to the liberation of Paris and beyond - Memoir '44 airdrops you into the key battles that turned the tide in Western Europe. You'll take command at some of the most historic battles of WWII including: Omaha Beach! Pegasus Bridge! Operation Cobra! and the Ardennes.
Memoir '44 is a unique historical game where players face-off in one of over a dozen stylized WWII battles on an oversize hex game board. Each of the battle scenarios mimic the historical terrain, troop placements and objectives of each army. Troops are deployed through Command and Tactic cards, but the smart commander uses the unique skills of his units "“ infantry, paratrooper, tank, artillery, and even resistance fighters "“ to its greatest strength. While easy to learn and quick to play, Memoir '44 requires strategic card play, timely dice rolling and an aggressive yet flexible battle plan to achieve victory
