Matrix Games Forums

Battles in Normandy appeared in PC Gamer's January edition: I forgot to write down the page before loaning the magazine to a friend (DOH). I'm sure someone out there has it and can lend a helping hand. If not, I'll find out and post the page # later.

Anyway, here are some excepts:

"You can do what you want, when you want: You're not constrained by narrow phases."

"Battles in Normandy is one hell of a wargame"

"The game's 2 campaigns and 8 scenarios cover the conflict's significant battles with brain-twisting realism and heart-pumping excitement. It's a must have for any West Front aficionado."

Final Verdict: 81% (Excellent)

Good job SSG and thank you Mark Walker and PCgamer for the review!

Only 81%??? Didn't they rate Korsun Pocket higher? Why is it 99% of all wargames if they are turn based and hexed based get low review scores and they give these RTS POS games high 80's and 90's????

I swear if I ever win the lottery I'm going to start my own gaming magazine and I betcha RTS/FPS get some lame scores like you never seen before and all wargames, turn based and hex based get high 90's.

81% is not bad at all.

True...I'm happy as long as my test scores exceeds 75% [;)]

Agree with you about RTS Ravinhood, I just can't bare them no matter how hard I try.
Really been putting an effort into liking HoI - but as soon as war is declared it simply overwhelms me!
