Avalon Hill's Axis & Allies D-Day

A tense and close battle saw David's Yanks and Frankie's Brits storming ashore

in Normandy to the surprise of the ill prepared Huns commanded by Andrzej.  

The Allied superiority in air power caused havoc to the German forces attempting 

to reinforce Caen and St Lo.  Slowly but surely the allies advance towards these 

two key cities and Cherbourg in the north, which was the first to fall.

 

Although the Brits kicked the Germans out of Caen, a determined counter-attack

left the city contested at game's end and, although the Yanks managed to get a toe

hold in St Lo, the city was remained contested at the end of the game - a phyrric

victory for the Germans.
