Battles in Normandy vs UFO: Aftermath

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.

Set in a post‑apocalyptic 2005, UFO: Aftermath puts you in charge of the Council of Earth’s hidden bases, researching alien tech, recruiting survivors, and launching missions against UFOs and mutated biology. Rendered in isometric 3D, the game blends classic X‑COM‑style strategy with a horror‑filled narrative as humanity fights to survive the alien spore invasion.
