We played this game last year and really very much enjoyed our experience. It was light, fun and pulpy and the cards and order tokens just add in some nicer element of fog of war and that keeps the whole experience interesting. We played a scenario form the base game of Heroes of Normandie Big Red One Edition as well as a scenario from the Bloody Omaha Battle Pack.

From the publisher, we read the following:

A miniatures game without miniatures, Heroes of Normandie is a fast-paced WWII strategy war game 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’s new in the Big Red One Edition:

  • 50-Card decks (instead of 70) with new Alternate Bonuses, for even faster gameplay and reduced setup time.
  • New and improved rule book
  • New scenarios
  • New and improved Aircraft system, available in Bloody Omaha
  • All new artwork for the Heroes
  • New Blast Templates
  • New Heroes
  • New Tactical Objectives
  • And last, but not least, Flamethrowers in the core box (instead of in expansions)!
