2 to 3 Players
Ages 12 to Adult
It’s the morning of June 6, 1944. As Allied forces prepare to storm Normandy’s
beaches, the fate of Europe is in your hands! In honor of next year’s 60th
anniversary of D-Day, Avalon Hill will release Axis & Allies D-Day, a new,
stand-alone extension of the classic strategy game Axis & Allies. Axis & Allies
D-Day will allow players to recreate the largest amphibious invasion in history.
Features detailed
game components including a new blockhouse piece, an extra-large game
board, and original artwork commissioned exclusively for the D-Day game box.
Other elements of this new Axis & Allies variant include a card deck with three
card types -- Orders, Tactics, and Fortune -- to add depth and complexity to
play. Order cards determine play sequence and break turns into distinct
phases; Tactics cards offer players varied strategic opportunities; and Fortune
cards add an element of unpredictability.
Axis & Allies D-Day begins as Operation Overlord, the invasion of German-held
Normandy, is underway -- 130,000 soldiers of the United Kingdom, Canada,
and the United States are poised to assault Fortress Europe. You and your
fellow world powers control their fates.
One player controls Germany, whose Axis forces have turned the beaches
of Normandy into a near-impenetrable stronghold. Set to breach those
defenses are the Allies: the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States.
The future of Europe and the world hangs in the balance.
Axis & Allies D-Day is designed for two or three players and can be played
in two hours. Axis & Allies D-Day is the third Axis & Allies variant, following
the successful Axis & Allies Europe and Axis & Allies Pacific, both of which
were published in 2001.
