Battles in Normandy vs Incubation: Time Is Running Out

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.

Travel to the colonized planet Scayra and confront the mutated Scay'Ger after a power‑plant accident disables the colony’s energy shield. As commander of an elite squad of space marines, you must halt the blood‑thirsty attacks and evacuate surviving colonists before the darkness consumes everything. Set within the cramped, industrial corridors of Scay Hallwa, the game blends turn‑based tactical combat with a fully rendered 3D environment, letting you view battles from any angle—whether from a soldier’s eyes, an alien’s perspective, or an external camera.
