This game covers the Normandy Campaign of 1944, with scenarios covering D-Day through the end of August with Operation Cobra. The game is designed to be an introductory wargame but with enough "meat on the bones" to draw in the experienced gamer as well. As with Vae Victis (issue 1 to 99) games, the counters need to be cut out and mounted. The rules are entirely in French, although translations are available online.
