Tomorrow marks the 65th Anniversary of D-Day.  To help honour those who sacrificed on that day, I've revisited a scenario I wrote some time ago and decided to bring it up to speed with some of the recent expansions.  For all my Memoir '44 friends and foes alike.  I hope you enjoy.

Juno Beach - a Memoir '44 Overlord Scenario

(can also be found and AAR'd on the Days of Wonder website).

"I saw friends I had known, men who had just joined the army in the first few months of the war - and now had died in their first action here on the Norman beach. They lived a few minutes of this victory they had made. That was all."

- Ross Munro, Canadian Journalist Bloody Victory

Because you asked for it (oh, and because it was already written) I've posted the D-Day Campaigns as a Memoir '44 Campaign Book Volume I Supplemental (that's a mouth full!) on BoardGameGeek.com.

The 2 campaigns (US D-Day and UK D-Day) were intended as an introduction to the Campaign rules but for various reasons never got officially published. They can be played with using just the base Memoir '44 game and a copy of the Campaign Rules (a few of the scenarios in them are available from the Days of Wonder website). Play them together for a mini-grand campaign.

This is a free downloadable PDF. Enjoy!

The 'Hit' Marker tutorial...enjoy and Happy Gaming!

Update April 9th - Wow!  what a great response, 52 thumbs and counting...and it made it to the splash page of BGG!  Ok, so there is certainly interest in this tutorial so I'll start on it and should have it ready by the end of the weekend.  Happy Easter all!

I'm calling on fans of both Memoir '44 and Tide of Iron for your thumbs. I've posted this image to BoardGameGeek.com but think there is a good chance that it doesn't get much exposure.

So if you like this image, and would like to see a tutorial on how to make your own (for M'44 fans, these alleviate the need to have 3 figures in each hex, one will do with 'hit markers') simply click on this BGG link and thumb the image.

If we can get enough thumbs to get this on the main page, I'll write up a tutorial on how to make the 'Hit Markers'.  They are easy...but had I not had an accident in making them, they would not have been.  Thanks in advance for your thumbs for those who give them.

Thumb the Hit Marker here.

It has been brought to my attention that the Flanking Caen campaign had an omission in the final editing.  It is possible for the Allies to win Withdrawal from Hill 112 (effectively ending the campaign) yet lose the campaign.  This means that the Axis has won the campaign but it's not clear where the Grand Campaign goes after this.

The Axis Campaign box should read - "If you win the Campaign after Withdrawal from Hill 112 or Hill 112"

The Grand Campaign would move to The Breakout if the Axis wins the campaign regardless of the scenario.

Quick Update (March 11) - The file is now also available at BoardGameGeek.com for those who are on there.  You can find it here - Flanking Caen Score Sheet
While I'm sure that Days of Wonder will be posting the individual campaign score sheets for download, I thought some of you fans might get some use out of the prototype score sheets I designed while playtesting the campaigns.

You can download it from my User Page on the Memoir '44 website or, hopefully, you will be able to get it from BoardGameGeek.com (see the Memoir '44 Campaign Book - Volume I entry).

Enjoy!
