To mark the 75th anniversary of the Normandy landings, Avalon Hill is releasing a reprint of Axis & Allies: D-Day. The game uses similar mechanics to the core game but zooms in on the WWII action as the Allies aim to establish beach heads to begin the task of wresting control of Fortress Europa from the Axis. The game is for two players, ages 12+, plays in about two hours, and will carry an MSRP of $44.99 when it arrives June 11th.
From Avalon Hill:
Get ready for this exclusive reprint of the original game! You are on the beaches of Normandy, and ahead lies an uncertain future. The fate of the world hangs in the balance, as you struggle for control over the cities of Cherbourg, St. Lo, and Caen. Savage. Quick, and decisive, D-Day was the major turning point in the European theatres, with Liberty itself on the line. Designed for two or three players, Axis & Allies: D-Day accurately captures this dramatic conflict and places you squarely in the middle of the greatest battle of the 20th century.
