(from the rules:) Second Front Now is a wargame simulating a hypothetical Allied invasion of France in September 1943. The design combines factual historical detail with educated guesswork to produce an alternative history simulation covering the period from D-Day+1 to D-Day+80. The game uses a system similar to that used for their D-Day (historical) and Sea Lion games. Originally published in Command magazine #44 (Aug 1997)
