Post by Marc von Martial »

Charles S. Roberts award - “20th Century Era Wargame”
First place!

PC Gamer Magazine - 81% February 2005 issue
"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"

Computer Gaming World - 4.5 / 5 - "Wargame of the Year 2004"
"A Cut Above the Rest. Battles of Normandy may be the best operational-level computer war game on the market today. Short of pushing cardboard chits, you won't find a better war game."
The review can be found on page 98 of the January 2005 Issue

Computer Games Magazine - 5/5 April 2005 issue
"So Bright, So Strong. How do you improve the best wargame ever made? Let History do the work!" - Bruce Geryk

Gamespot - 8.4 / 10 "Great"
"Take one of the best operational-level World War II wargame engines ever devised, improve it, and cross it with one of the most compelling campaigns in military history, and you get Battles in Normandy"

Gamerhall.de - 82% (german)
"Bei BIN geht es voll zur Sache, man hat keine Ruhe und muss sich seinem Geschick stellen. 82 % sind für das Spiel eine eindeutige Aussage und Kampfansage an alle die gar so toll aufgemotzten Strategiespiele der letzten Monate.

Strategy Informer - 8.3/10
"This is a very effective wargame, it simulates the campaign quite realistically. The AI is far from brain dead, and will provide players a challenge. This game is aimed at the hard core wargamer, and it hits its target audience. Casual gamers that enjoy a challenge will have their hands full here, and pure wargamers will find the game they have been waiting for. Highly recommended."
