Heroes of Normandie
The time is summer 1944. The Sun shines on Normandie hedgerows. Gentle wind, fields of bright flowers, and in the background, the romantic staccato of machine gun fire in the morning. In these typical French countryside landscapes, thousands of men are about to fight. And die. Bravely like heroes, or cowardly like wussies. But only heroes really matter. Those you see in Hollywood Golden Age war movies. Here lies the inspiration for Heroes of Normandie; here is what the game has to offer: explosive and fast-paced battles; the pleasure of butchering your enemies through MG42 walls of lead; and the ability to crush Nazi bastards under tons of shells – basically, blood and guts.

A miniatures game without miniatures, Heroes of Normandie is a fast-paced WW2 strategy wargame inspired by Hollywood war movies. A tactical scale board-game opposing two players and two armies, with the Germans on one side and the Americans on the other. Players use order tokens to determine initiative and to bluff. While a single six-sided die determines combat, action cards are played to spice things up. Secretly plan your attacks and outwit your opponent. Block the opposing strategy and surprise the enemies. Deploy your units and don't turn back!

What the community says about Heroes of Normandie
wargame operacional, del estilo de tide of iron, pero más sencillito. Incluye mucho material para muchos escenarios diferentes. Es bastante sencillo de explicar y de jugar.. y tiene escenarios en los que una partida puede durar menos de una hora. También recuerda un poco a Earth Reborn, salvando las distancias, claro. Material y estética excelentes. Recomendable. Eso sí, solo es para do sjugadores.
Un buen wargame *jugable* de escala táctica que pudiera servir como puerta de entrada al mundillo. En pocas palabras es un juego de "miniaturas sin miniaturas" en el que las armas son bastante letales, al contrario que en otros wargames con miniaturas en el que tiras más de 20 dados y sólo hay 1-2 impactos. Su mejor punto fuerte es que tienes todos los datos e información en las fichas y el tablero, sin existir apenas necesidad de revisar el reglamento una y otra vez. No hay tablas de ataque aéreo, artillería, supresión... Esto hace un juego muy ágil, y aún jugando sin cartas, con buen nivel
