D-Day Module with reinforcement charts for ABattlemap!

@Krieghund

Agreed. That’s how I always play it.

@SS-GEN WOW! so it doesn’t matter how many planes are there. only how many Artillery pieces. I have been playing it wrong! Thanks :)

Rules say:
“Shoot Down Air Units: Artillery can shoot down attacking air units. Whenever an order card so directs, each artillery
can fire on one air unit in its zone. Roll one die per artillery against an air unit: On a roll of 1, that air unit is destroyed.” AN air unit. not EACH air unit.

Well I don’t know about famous as we don’t get a ton of feedback but the first round of our game of Global from Remembrance Day was our most downloaded.

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.

I think the Germans were a different color too. One set was dark black and other was i little lighter in black. Got 2 different blockhouse colors. Man I was pissed when bought 2nd set. I needed more infrantry for Uk and Germany for IL’s WW2 game that starts with 600 pieces. I try not to use chips if I can. Ended up buying like 2000 pieces of each kind of piece on e bay couple years ago. because I also needed Russian infrantry and tanks. That was nice got like 100 infrantry for each country and all the tanks you needed and ships. Just waiting for Coach and FMG to come up with the L crusiars, L AC, tankers,air transporters for game with the added pieces. also pacific sold Japan as red as well but use them for neutrals do to needed ships. painted rest.

Here are the major differences…

1. The Turn order is determined by a sequential action of cards that give orders to one side or the other…

2. There is no production… Instead Troops come in via a reinforcement chart that you roll for to determine what comes ashore (or from Rouen and Rennes)

3. The Objective (for the Allies) is to seize 3 VC (Cherbourg, St. Lo, Caen) by turn nine and hold them for a turn… otherwise the Germans win…

4. There is now a limit of 8 Land Units for one side or the other (so The Allies can only have 8 units in a zone and no more, the germans can not have any more either)…

5. Allies can only have Aircraft… German Artillery are AA capable… The Germans now get Blockhouses that get to target Allied units coming ashore… Plus all German defends on 3 instead of the allied 2  :wink:

6. Fortune Cards (optional) can give one side or the other an advantage brought on by bombings, shortages, Weather etc.

7. Tactic Cards (optional) give a one time use advantage to one side or the other…

8. Battles only last one cycle, so you have to be selective to not tie units down…

here is the rulebook: http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/rules/axisdday.pdf

Overall it is more of a training game to teach the mechanic of fighting to new players imo… but it is a great short game… Although it can get boring with the same strats that usually get played… IF you want blockhouse pieces though get it…
