Decision in Normandy

International Game Series game from Multi-Man Publishing. It was removed from the MMP's pre-order list in July 2008. Scaled at mostly regimental level, 4 kilometers a hex and with 4 days per turn, Decision in Normandy covers the period from the D-Day landings until the successful breakout from Normandy in late July of 1944. Using a highly interactive game turn sequence with multiple movement and combat phases and reserve use, a firepower based CRT, and the use of situational morale states, Decision in Normandy offers a unique look at this very famous moment in World War Two. It is all here – armor effects, breakthroughs, desperate defenses, naval gunfire, air power, artillery support, extensive England to beachhead subroutines, and more. All in a seamless game system that still focuses on playability and elegance. Decision in Normandy was originally published in 1981 by Epoch games of Japan.
