Eight Armies in Normandy
Welcome to Normandy. The year is 1944 and the
Allies are landing on the Normandy beaches into the teeth of the German
fortifications. The paratroopers have landed inland and are making their
way to the cost engaging German units as they encounter them.

"You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have
striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The
hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In
company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other fronts, you
will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the
elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and
security for ourselves in a free world.”
~ General Dwight D. Eisenhower.

We decided to focus our battle on Gold Beach and Omaha Beach. This allowed us to use British and US forces for the main assault, and we couldn’t leave out the airborne so the paratroopers get to go after some difficult inland objectives and run interference on the German reserves. We obviously use some fuzzy scaling to get all the forces involved but this game was always about heaps of toy soldiers and fun over purist accuracy.

We played our giant game out over two days
and had a heap of fun. It is our hope that this article acts as
inspiration for you and your friends to pull out your toy soldier
collections and play an all-out smash fest. |
