Atlantic Wall: The Invasion of Europe June 1944

About this board game

Atlantic Wall: The Invasion of Europe June 1944 is a battalion-level board game for 2 players, with an approximately 360-minute playing time, simulating the Allied invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944.

Set against the wider conflict of World War II, the game begins as the vast Allied armada approaches the French coast. Allied munitions strike the beaches and German strong-points, bringing the long-anticipated invasion to life across a detailed representation of the Normandy area.

The game uses a five-section map representing the actual area of the invasion. Cardboard playing pieces move and engage across a hexagonal grid, which functions like the squares of a chessboard in determining combat outcomes and the success or failure of various game operations.

• Five 34" × 22" maps
• 2,000 cardboard counters
• Battalion-level treatment of the D-Day invasion
• A hexagonal grid governing movement, combat, and operations

As a monster game, Atlantic Wall presents the Normandy landings on an expansive physical scale. Its maps and counters cover the historical conflict as Allied and German forces meet along the coast, transforming the opening of D-Day into a substantial tabletop simulation.
