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.

Choose between the Classic Game mode with traditional turn‑by‑turn play or the Simultaneous‑Turn option that adds I‑COM communication, territory‑depth upgrades, and bidding mechanics. Whether you prefer solo conquest or heated multiplayer negotiations, Risk II delivers a ruthless, strategic challenge for players of all ages.
