Day of Days: The Invasion of Normandy 1944, is one of the installments in the popular Multi-Man Publishing Standard Combat Series (SCS). This system is designed to provide players with a low complexity game system that also conveys great historical detail and a touch of realism. What I like about it is its emphasis on operational-level warfare, allowing players to command entire armies or theater-level commands rather than focusing on individual units or skirmishes. This approach enables players to experience the strategic and logistical challenges faced by military commanders during historical campaigns, from coordinating large-scale offensives to managing supply lines and reinforcements.

Day of Days: The Invasion of Normandy 1944, takes on the the first 10 days of the Normandy landings at the company level. The Allied objectives are to land successfully and push far enough off the beaches to guarantee a rapid advance into France. The Axis player needs to either defeat the initial landings or plug them up to create a stalemate.
