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.

Hogs of War is a turn‑based tactics game where you command a squad of anthropomorphic hogs in a whimsical battlefield. Each turn you control a single hog from a third‑person view, moving across varied terrain, jumping, swimming, and engaging enemies only when stationary. The game blends strategic depth with slap‑stick comedy, featuring hazards like damaging water, mines, and the possibility of instant death by falling off the map. Play solo or challenge friends in multiplayer modes, all wrapped in a light‑hearted, war‑themed setting.
