Battles in Normandy recreates all aspects of the Normandy campaign, from the landings on the first day to the final climax of the campaign at Falaise.

Total number of units?

Post by Kung Karl »

Will there be, compared to the full campaign of Korsun Pocket, more or less units involved in the full campaign? I think that it is really a lot of units to push around I must say.

Try one of the PzC games, and you'll come to appreciate the DB games unit numbers <g> Around three times more units in the PzC games, for the same battle depicted............ugh.

The number of units is determined by the scale of the battle. If we were to take the Normandy battle up one step, and make each unit a division, then the Allies would land 8 counters, 3 airborne and 5 seaborne, on D-Day, plus perhaps a few special units.

That would be fine if it was part of a theatre level game, but not on its own.

Having said that, we've included lots of different scenarios, and many are smaller in scope, so you aren't limited to playing the big campaign scenarios.
