Review:

With a large and colourful smoothly scrolling map and simple input system, the game allows you to quickly become immersed in the action. It starts out with a nice option to select different beaches, rather than follow the historical route.

With airborne options also included, the simple icons hide a surprisingly deep and complex game. Fans of table top war games will find much that is still familiar and it is up to the author's usual very high standards.
