A few weeks ago Russell and I had a go at the old Avalon Hill D-Day game. This is the later edition with a very pretty map and counters. The photos are a mix of my own and Russell’s, and appear in no particular order. 

It’s quite a simple game, though I’m sure we managed to get at least some of the rules wrong!  It looks quite a challenge for the Allied player – in our game the Germans largely held the Allies at the border of the Reich. Though I guess that means postwar West Germany is only three hexes in size!  

Interestingly on BoardGameGeek it rates only 5.9 which seems a bit mean. We’d give it an 8.
