    Description

    Normandy - The invasion of Europe 1944 is a classic simulation wargame by SPI. The German players has six different sets of victory goals, depending on the orders from the HQ: the Allied does not know which one is in use and has to plan the invasion accordingly. German reinforcements are also affected by the battle plan used.

    Rules are quite standard for SPI wargames, with units able to 'break down' into their component formations. The game goes on smoothly and ends in a reasonable time.

    At least four editions exist: the original 'Test Series' edition, with the most primitive components and rules; the 'Simulation Games' edition, with die-cut counters, heavier cardstock for the map, and cleaned up rules; the SPUK edition, printed in the UK under licence with different colours; and a later more colourful edition.
