Image DDay game box 1961.jpg thumb 300px DDay box art 1961 version DDay is a board wargame published by Avalon Hill first in 1961 and later re released in 1965, 1971, 1977 and 1991. An operational strategic simulation of the Western Front World War II Western Front between June and September, 1944, the game simulates the invasion by the Allies of World War II Allies of France while it was occupied by the Axis Powers . The title references the Normandy Landings in France on 6 June 1944, but it is actually about the campaign to liberate France in World War II , while the invasion itself is a fairly perfunctory affair completed on the first turn. One unique aspect of the game offers the Allied player the choice of where to invade. Players may and often do choose the Normandy beach where the actual invasion took place, but are free to invade at several other alternate locations, including the southern coast of France. The German player has considerable freedom as to where to place his starting pieces, but they do so without knowledge of where the Allied player will invade. Although other games with much more complexity and realism have since been released, including Avalon Hill s early 1980s Fortress Europa game Fortress Europa covering roughly the same scale and subject matter, DDay is still played in part due to its simplicity. Fact date March 2008 Along with Stalingrad wargame Stalingrad and Afrika Korps game Afrika Korps , it was considered one of the classic games released in the 1960s by Avalon Hill , all of which shared a similar move attack advance game system.

It focused on the experiences of American paratroopers and gliders who went into Normandy prior to the sea borne invasion. Opening with a statement by Gen. Barney M. Giles , reminding the audience that the war can t be won without money to pay for armaments and equipment, the film turns to an overview of Operation Overlord and the necessity for breaking the Atlantic wall. However, the emphasis soon turns to the men stationed in England, and their life while training and waiting for the inevitable invasion. Finally, the big day arrives and paratroopers are flown in over northern France in advance of the actual invasion. Their tasks included blowing up bridges, securing airfields, cutting communication lines, and other clandestine operations. The film ends by reminding the audience that many of the men they have just seen have given their lives in defense of freedom, and urges them to buy war bonds.
