1944 D-Day: Operation Overlord. Play the game. Experience the history.

Manstein

The years of preparation are over. The troops are loaded, the fleet is assembled, and the planes are airborne. The date, June 6th, 1944, will go down in history, that much is clear. Whether it will be remembered as the beginning of Nazi Germany’s end , or as a total disaster for the Allies, is as yet undecided. Choose your alliegence, fill your role, and take part in the greatest seaborne invasion in history. 160 square kilometers of Normandy is your battlefield, and the conflict will not end until a clear victor has emerged.

The time for words has passed, H-Hour is upon you!

Bowman

Like no game out there D-day allows you to choose any unit on the battlefield. Whatever you fancy there is something for you, fly a plane, drive a tank, join a squad of infantry, its all there. With a highly adaptable A.I. system like no other, you can fight alongside or against over 250,000 units in real time on a highly accurate 160 by 160km remake of Normandy. There is just one question left: Which side will you choose?
