{"product_id":"normandy-44","title":"Normandy '44","description":"\u003cp\u003e(from GMT website :)\n\nNormandy '44 is a 2, 3, or 4-player, regimental level game of the D-Day landings on June 6th and the battles that raged in Normandy for the next 21 days. During this crucial period the Germans had their only chance to push back the Allied invasion before the preponderance of Allied men and material made the outcome certain. During this period, the U.S. 1st Army fought across the Cotentin Peninsula and captured the major port of Cherbourg while British forces took on the bulk of of the German panzer divisions near Caen.\n\nThe game uses a simplified Ardennes '44 system: Move, Fight and Reserve Movement. All non-tank battalion units are rated for Troop Quality, while all armor units have a Tank Rating. In each battle these ratings are used to provide shifts for either the attacker or defender. Other important shifts are provided by air power, naval support, artillery and\/or Tiger tanks.\n\nThe game includes a 22 turn Campaign game, a 7-turn Tournament Scenario that focuses on the Allies linking up the beaches, and a scenario covering the battle in the peninsula and the capture of Cherbourg. In addition, there are rules for allowing 3 or even 4 players to play the game.\n\nGame Scale:\nTurn: 1 day\nMap: approx 2.3 miles \/3.8 km per hex\nUnit: Battalions to Brigades\n\nGame Contents:\nOne 22 x 34\" map\nTwo countersheets (456 9\/16\" dual-side printed counters)\nOne 32 page rulebook\nTwo Combat \u0026amp; Terrain Player Aid Cards (2 sided)\nFour Set-up\/Reinforcement Cards (three 1-sided, one 2-sided)\nOne 6-sided dice\n\nComplexity: low to intermediate\nPlaying Time: 4 - 10 hours\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 420 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.37 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mark Simonitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2010\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GMT Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51909393416408,"sku":"SB-1128B902D6B9-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/qc24chfht47s7mnaxejb9wfxlgph.jpg?v=1785456566","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/normandy-44","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
