Release Date: September 13, 2004
Another position in a series of strategies based on the groundbreaking battles of World War II (The Ardennes Offensive, Korsun Pocket and Across the Dnepr) prepared by Matrix Games and Strategic Studies Group. As the name suggests, the game shows the struggles of the Allies and Germans during the landing in Normandy.
The largest amphibious landing in history went better than its planners dared to hope. Yet weeks later the Allies had only liberated a small sliver of Normandy. Over fifty years later debate still rages as to why. Battles in Normandy recreates all aspects of the Normandy campaign, from the landings on the first day to the final climax of the campaign at Falaise.
Two monster campaign scenarios, D-Day to Cobra and Cobra to Falaise plus eight smaller scenarios will cover every important aspect of this critical campaign. Battles in Normandy features a new Decisive Battles game engine with a host of special new rules for amphibious and airborne operations, plus a huge number of other enhancements.
