Battlefront’s next book is D-Day, due out in March. It is quite different from anything we’ve done before, so I thought I’d say a few words on what it is and why we’re excited about it.

D-Day is our first Campaign Book. It is an introduction to the Normandy Campaign from D-Day, 6 June 1944, to the liberation of Paris on 25 August 1944, plus a resource of gaming rules and ideas to allow you to really get your teeth into playing Flames Of War in Normandy!

The book contains:
* History of the Normandy Campaign
* Rules for amphibious assaults
* Rules for bocage fighting
* Hit the Beach mission
* Utah Beach scenario
* Sword Beach scenario
* Rules for Hobart’s Funnies
* The Bréville Gap axis of attack campaign
* Cutting the Cotentin axis of attack campaign
* Normandy Modelling tips and ideas


As you can see, there are no new organisations or units and only a couple of new pieces of equipment because that is not what this book is about. It’s all about setting the scene and gaming in Normandy (at least a tabletop representation of it!). We’ll have a whole raft of Battle Books coming out over the next few years to give you more companies to field. Of course Festung Europa covers all the basic units.

This book is about playing games in Normandy. It is about setting the scene for the next few years of Flames Of War and giving you a whole new environment to game in and new challenges to overcome!
