Memoir ’44 started its life as a board game developed to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings in Normandy. What began as a uniquely fun and simple historical game – where players command a horde of little plastic Army men facing-off in dozens of WWII battles on an oversize hex game board – soon turned into a commercial phenomenon with over 100,000 copies sold and thousands of ready-to-play scenarios.
