Digital Axis & Allies D-Day map

@Sebskullian-0 you can find these games on ebay for not too much.

@SS-GEN WOW! so it doesn’t matter how many planes are there. only how many Artillery pieces. I have been playing it wrong! Thanks :)

Rules say:
“Shoot Down Air Units: Artillery can shoot down attacking air units. Whenever an order card so directs, each artillery
can fire on one air unit in its zone. Roll one die per artillery against an air unit: On a roll of 1, that air unit is destroyed.” AN air unit. not EACH air unit.

Great for new players who what to give these older games a try!  :-)

For player/collectors like myself, I feel a sudden drop in the price of my collectible copies…  :|

Hiya Forum,

Here is a video I have created on youtube of the set up of a timelapse for D Day. I hope it come to some help for you to enjoy the game!

The “latest version” with updated logo that just say “AH Avalon Hill” instead of “AH Avalon Hill Games” has been released and is ready to ship from Amazon.

cant u have the german fighters strafe when the axis attack u could resolve fighter combat like reg combat but have it 3 or less

“Did you take into consideration that the Naval Bombardment can only target the pillboxes?”

Yeah.  They just need to take out the pillboxes at Omaha(bombing is out of the question because of the 3 AA, otherwise that would work nice), taking on 7 is a lot better than 9…

"I would think that you could get yourself in trouble simply getting to Cherbourg if you do this. If your opponent is in the habit of abandoning it he can bog you down pretty good around Utah. You might try encircling St. Lo from the Cherbourg side while  concentrating your Ftrs in those reinforcement zones. That might force the Germans in on the Caen side and bring them in range of the British overrunning that city faster leaving less for the US to root out of St. Lo. Not march on St. Lo per se but march on the reinforcement zones on that side of the board. Overrun it with your tanks.

I certainly agree that clearing the Omaha beachhead is a no. 1 priority."

Personally, I like it when the Cherbourg Axis units assault the beach.  The majority of the first American units are infantry so it’s hard to get a quick start anyhow, and if the battle goes down at the beach, the Axis only have 15 units or so (plus you can bomb them), so although they may inflict some heavy damage at first eventually they die off and you only have to march one infantry (or one tank to move faster) up to Cherbourg.  And, if they get lucky at the beach you know how much you have to compensate, while when you have to march all the way to Cherbourg there is a chance that you could misestimate.

Although, maybe I just haven’t seen an Axis player handle a Utah beach well yet.

I’ll try the reinforcement rush sometime, it sounds like it could work out well…

the thing is, with how I have done this strat games so far the brits are hurting a lot more than the U.S., and I generally end up with more than sufficient in St. Lo units while Caen is in danger of being pincered by both the Rouen/Chartres reinforcements and some of the Renn/Chartres reinforcements,  so I don’t even know if I’d want Renn/Chartres going to Chartres.
