Fall of Normandy (German side)

Fall of Normandy (German defense) is a turn based strategy game set on the western front during the Second World War immediately after the D-Day invasion on June 6th 1944. From Joni Nuutinen: By a wargamer for the wargamers since 2011


You are in command of the German armed forces on the European Western Front in 1944 and burdened with the semi-impossible task of stopping the long-expected Allied invasion. You are supposed to push the Allies forces back into the ocean by eliminating all landing beaches in Normandy -- while facing overwhelming numeric Allied superiority and enduring the constant Allied bombardment limiting your mobility. Troops at your disposal range from the fragile Ost (East) battalions and weak static infantry divisions to the battle-hardened Waffen SS divisions and Panzer VI Tiger formations. Can you make any real headway towards the Allied beachheads which are getting reinforcements and replacements in a constant flow?

Fair warning: Thanks to the historical Allied superiority that is applied to the game, this is a really tough campaign to win. Any major mistakes are likely to result in the Allied tanks victoriously pushing through the remnants of your front line, and the fairly small scale of the map multiplies the effect compared to larger scale scenarios in which losing a few hexagons is usually not such a big deal.

This game is effectively the opposite side of the D-Day game in which you play the Allies.

FEATURES:

+ Competitive: Measure your strategy game skills against others fighting for the Hall of Fame top spots.

+ Settings: Various options are available to alter the look of the gaming experience: Change difficulty level, hexagon size, Animation speed, choose icon set for units (NATO or REAL) and cities (Round, Shield, Square, block of houses), decide what is drawn on the map, and much more.

+ Experienced units learn new skills, like improved attack or defense performance, ability to cross rivers without losing extra move points.

+ A wide variety of units under your command: From weak coastal fortifications, easy-to-scatter Ost battalions and static infantry units to battle-hardened Waffen SS and Panzer divisions (from Panzer IV to Panzer VI Tigers).

+ Historical accuracy: Campaign mirrors the historical setup of the real 1944 Normandy landings - including the divisions that saw combat during the D-Day and the following Normandy Campaign in World War II.

Joni Nuutinen has been offering highly rated Android-only strategy board games since 2011, and even the first scenarios are still actively updated. The campaigns are based on the time-tested gaming mechanics TBS (turn-based strategy) enthusiasts are familiar with from both the classic PC war games and legendary tabletop board games. I want to thank the fans for all the well thought-out suggestions over the years which have allowed these campaigns to improve at a much higher rate than what any solo indie developer could dream of. If you have advice on how to improve this board game series please use email, this way we can have a constructive back and forth chat without the limits of the store's comment system. In addition, because I have huge number of projects on multiple stores, it’s just not sensible to spend handful of hours each day going through hundreds of pages spread all over the Internet to see if there is a question somewhere -- just send me an email and I will get back to you. Cheers!
