Mike Lambo’s Solitaire Wargames are addictive. Full stop. When you start to play one of them, you want to try more – and having over 20 titles to choose from, there is a lot of opportunities. You have probably seen my material about The Fields of Normandy and US Troops fights during the Operation Overlord. Today we shall again visit that battle but from the British perspective!

As part of the D-Day landings in Normandy in 1944, the British 6th Airborne Division took part in Operation Tonga, to capture and destroy several bridges on the Orne River and Caen Canal and to secure important villages in the area. Bad weather and difficult landing conditions meant that units were scattered and often had to fight in smaller, weakened forces. Fortunately, the German resistance was, on this occasion, inefficient.

In Battles of Normandy, you will be commanding whatever British units happen to be available in order to take strategic positions on the map. German forces may not act with the full efficiency that the German army was known for, but they will nonetheless put up a fight.

In below material I am going to present to you the game, with quick overview of the rules and example of play. You will see how quick, brutal and replayable title it is!

Enjoy!
