"June ’44" is a low complexity, highly interactive game that allows players to recreate the invasion of Normandy by Allied forces in June of 1944.
The game features hidden unit placements and player-influenced events which combine to make every play a unique experience, and also instills a sense of the uncertainty of combat which confronted the historical commanders.
These same game mechanics also make the game highly challenging and enjoyable for the solitaire player.
Scale: 2-day turns, 2.5 miles per hex, units are mostly divisions.

12-page Color Rulebook
11" x 17" Hex-grid Map Sheet

2-sided Player Aid Card
