Bodyguard Overlord is a simulation of intelligence, deception and preparations preceding the Allied Invasion of Normandy in June 1944 and their effect on the subsequent course of military operations. The emphasis of this simulation is on the often overlooked "fog-of-war", the tendency for information to get mixed up in the heat of a campaign.
