Axis & Allies D-Day

Axis & Allies D-Day (released in 2004) begins on June 6th, 1944 – the day of one of the deadliest battles of World War Two. Axis & Allies D-Day attempts to replicate the strategy of this very day – in board game version.

The game is a great introduction for those players wanting to learn the basics of the Axis & Allies series of games. You’ll find quick game play and an easy set up. The dice will determine which side luck is on – but you will still require a solid strategy to win the war.

The factual elements put into this game are pretty unique, with items such as Blockhouses and Beachheads. Unlike many other A&A games, there is no money or plastic chips needed – it is all on the flow of Order Cards (phases 1-16).

Winning will come down to the wire for the Allies, with the Axis (Germany) needing to put up a good strategy to keep that one city secure until turn ten.
