@The_Good_Captain It applies to all zones.

Oh well.

@Sebskullian-0 you can find these games on ebay for not too much.

Appreciate the quick replies. I was rather skeptical about buying this game due to the fact that I didnt think the card idea would be any good. I figured every turn would basically be the same and no fun would come out of it. I was wrong. I played with my son soon after I brought it home, and had a blast (even though I got whipped). I really got whipped once we used the fortune cards (I rolled too many 6’s).Anyways, I highly recommend this game. Loads of fun.

Found this at Boardgamegeek. I don’t seem to be registered there :| so I haven’t DL’ed it but : Reinforcement cards pdf at Boardgamegeek.

D-day is the only A&A game with cards other than setup or things like unit stats in minis. D-day is much shorter than most maybe all other games. I don’t think any of the games I’ve played have been longer than three hours and I would guess much shorter like 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 and 1 half hours.

While I’ve never played Memoir '44, I have played Battlecry which is a similar system and the cards are not really similar. There are three sets of cards: Order, Fortune and Tactics. The Order cards are the only ones you must play with and they are basically the phases of the turn. As the game progress some of the phases no longer happen and those cards can be removed from the game.

The Fortune and Tactics cards are optional. Tactics cards give you a one shot benefit to be used during a particular order. You use them once and they are removed and can’t be used again. Fortune cards ask you to roll a die. Depending on the outcome of the roll one side will gain a benefit or suffer a hinderance. Fortune cards come up everytime you come to the Order card they are associated with. If the order no longer applies then the Fortune card can be removed as well.

I think D-Day is a nice game and it is a good intro to A&A for younger players or a nice quick game if you want to play more than one.

They are eliminated. If you are playing with the tactic and fortune cards they can be brought back into play if the correct dice rolls turn up but otherwise you don’t get additional aircraft.

As a side bar one of the most important things for Germany to do in D-Day is get some ART pieces into the re-inforcement areas to provide some cover for your troops.

“The Allies can’t lose , you just park aircraft over the central city and annihilate anything that tries to get into it.The other two cities are either swamped by the British , or cut off by the Americans….”

this is what i found. Allies park 4 planes into caen and 4 planes into St lo literally the entire game. half of all german artillery  sent in is anihilated by the straffing the other half his cleared by the ground forces before the germans even get the chance to fire at them. the only advantage is the allies run out of reinforcements faster but its evened out by the carnage the germans suffer from the airplanes
