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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach turn represents 1 day. Each hex represents 3.8 kilometers (or 2.3 miles). Most units are regiments or brigades though most of the armor units are represented as battalions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e Game Scale:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Turn: 1 day\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Map: approx 2.3 miles \/3.8 km per hex\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Unit: Battalions to Brigades\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOMPONENTS\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne 22x34 inch full-color map\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 countersheets (9\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e32-page Rulebook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 Player Aid cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 6-sided die \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GMT Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":2297659265,"sku":"1008-21","price":47.94,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/pic2503798.png?v=1637833300","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/normandy-44","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
