Overview
Description

Battles in Normandy is a historically‑accurate turn‑based strategy game that puts players in charge of Allied operations during the 1944 Normandy invasion. The game features a hex‑grid map, realistic unit statistics, and a deep order‑of‑battle system that rewards careful planning. Developed by Strategic Studies Group and published by Matrix Games, the title offers both single‑player scenarios and multiplayer battles, allowing enthusiasts to recreate historic engagements or devise their own tactics against friends.

In Crowntakers you are the chosen hero, summoned by the king in a prophetic dream to rescue him from an evil duke. Travel across a randomly generated kingdom, recruit mercenaries, and battle barbarians, beasts, and thieves in tactical turn‑based combat.\nThe game blends classic RPG progression with deep strategy, offering endless replayability as each journey reshapes the map, quests, and enemy encounters. Gather resources, complete quests, and become the kingdom’s greatest legend before time runs out.
