Days of Wonder Press Release - Memoir ’44 D-Day Landings Pre-order now!





From the Days of Wonder Website

Deploy your troops, call in reinforcements, take control of enemy positions to secure your advance… and make sure that your friends are covering your flanks!

70 years after D-Day, and celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Memoir ’44 game system, the D-Day Landings expansion commemorates the Normandy landings with six unique Battle Maps. This new Extended Breakthrough format is 23 hexes deep and offers battles on a scale and scope never seen before.




The D-Day Landings maps include settings for: American Airborne, Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, Gold Beach, Juno Beach, and Sword Beach. Each battle can be played individually or assembled with its neighboring scenarios for epic Double- and Triple-Map battles. With enough players, you can even link all six Battle Maps together for the Ultimate D-Day Landing Experience, creating a giant board that recreates the entire Normandy coast!

While these giant Battle Maps are designed for 2 players, they can also be linked together to accommodate up to 12 players. Included are the six pre-printed Battle Maps, a punch board, and multi-lingual English and French rules for the several game modes (Double-, Triple- and Ultimate Six-Map battles), all encased in a cloth-bound Commemorative Briefing Folder. It will be available in better game stores in North America and Europe and the Days of Wonder webstore in June at an expected retail price of $35/€35. Pre-order your copy of D-Day Landings now.


This expansion is not a standalone game and requires at least one original copy of Memoir ’44, as well as the Terrain Pack, Equipment Pack, and Winter Wars expansions. The Mediterranean Theater expansion is also recommended, though not required. More copies of the base game or expansions are required if you want to play a Double, Triple, or Six Map battle.
