Normandy 44 - A Bloody Summer is a redeveloped version of VaeVictis #27 best-selling game (1999). The game has been deeply redeveloped, with new mechanims and a reviewed order of battle (twice as many counters than in its first edition). The unit scale is regimental for armored units and for the assaulting units on D-Day. The Allied airforce is now fully included in the game and can be used by the anglo-american player to influence the outcome of the war. A second map allows the Allie to push their units toward Paris or the Atlantic harbors. More details, more counters and a wider map for a more comfortable game!
