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.

Clash of the Dragons continues the Heroes Chronicles saga, following the ranger Tarnum as he quests to free the good dragons enslaved by the Dragon Queen Mutare. Set in the land of AvLee, the single‑player campaign blends tactical turn‑based battles with a rich storyline of betrayal, sacrifice, and heroic dragon warfare. Players command elves, dwarves, and a variety of dragons across diverse maps, using strategic positioning and special abilities to outmaneuver Mutare’s forces and restore peace to the realm.
