Heroes of Normandie: Big Red One Edition EN

Product detailed description

It is the summer of 1944. The sun shines on the Normandy hedgerows. A gentle wind, fields of bright flowers, and in the background the romantic staccato of morning machine gun fire. In this typical French countryside, thousands of men are preparing to fight. And to die. Brave like heroes, or cowardly like cowards. But only heroes truly matter. Those you see in the golden age Hollywood war movies. That is the inspiration for Heroes of Normandie; that is what the game offers: explosive and fast battles; the pleasure of massacring enemies through lead walls of MG42; and the opportunity to crush Nazi bastards under tons of bullets - basically blood and guts.

The game Heroes of Normandie is a fast-paced World War II war strategy game inspired by Hollywood war movies. The tactical board game pits two players and two armies against each other, with Germans on one side and Americans on the other. Players use command tokens to determine initiative and bluff. While combat is determined by a six-sided die, action cards are played for variety. Secretly plan your attacks and outsmart your opponent. Block the opponent's strategy and surprise the enemies. Deploy your units and do not look back!
