Been hacking away at D-Day At Omaha Beach by Decision Games.  Highly regarded over at Boardgamegeek.

Since it’s solitaire, several charts and card draws used each turn.  No dice, however.  Reminds me of RAF, and it should since it has the same designer.  Also reminds me of In Magnificent Style, as you take a beating, only this time on the beaches.  I’m just trying to keep all  the graphic Saving Private Ryan scenes out of my head (no, won’t insert a link to that).

Right now, the hacking part is playing through the rules, with little regard to tactics/beating the system.  Reading them is always the easy part.

The development team did everyone a favor by creating an introductory scenario using only the 1st Division and half the map.  While the separate color examples of play pamphlet is very helpful, it would be better to get the full GMT-Type Playbook treatment when beginning to play.

Seems to deserve all of the praise it’s received.  Will continue to split board game time with this and ASLSK.
