Normandy: The Beginning of the End is a standalone game in the War Storms series.
Recreates the events of those days and allows the players to reproduce the most famous battles of the D-Day on the American beaches at a tactical level.
Players take command of either the Allied or Axis forces (or can play solitaire) in the tactical battles of each scenario.
Game System
The heart of the War Storm Series relies in the command, being the officers the keystone of the game.
These officers may activate units, coordinate assaults and movements, request artillery support and close air support missions or call for smoke screens, among others.
They also have a real influence in the morale checks.
Another key point in this saga is the morale, which successfully transfers the effects to the battlefield, giving the game an unique depth and sense of reality.
The platoons under our command won´t be only a group of soldiers obeying without hesitation our orders, but they may consider some of them extremely risky, forcing you to check the morale.
Now, sending your men to cross a barbed-wire area or to start an assault in specific circumstances, might have an impact in your leadership.
The Board
The game uses isomorphic maps and each one may be linked with the others by any of the edges.
This allows an almost unlimited number of combinations to represent any situation, including those designed by the players.
Replayability
Beyond the interaction between enemy forces disputing for a scenario and the evolving situations that might happen during a battle, War Storm Series implements a system that allows you to randomly select the officers whose abilities are not always equal and, therefore, the gaming experience varies every time you replay a scenario.
Ages: 12+ | Players: 2 | Playtime: 60 - 120 minutes
