This campaign book focuses on some of the key clashes fought in Normandy in the summer of 1944 as British; Canadian; Polish; and other Allied forces engaged in desperate battles against a dedicated and determined German opposition. As well as summarising the history; this book also details a number of scenarios inspired by the engagements within the Normandy campaign; and the special rules required to play them.

This book tells the story of the British and Canadian contribution to this monumental task; and the stoic German resistance they faced. It guides Bolt Action players from the latter stages of D-Day; beginning with the fierce fighting in the coastal towns off the beaches at Gold; Juno and Sword; through the violent clashes around the strategically vital city of Caen; and to the march against Germany itself.

Inside; you’ll find thirteen diverse scenarios; covering the action from the first pushes inland; to the dramatic climax of the campaign in the British & Canadian sectors during Operation?Tractable.? We’ve also included army lists for four of the campaign’s most important forces – the Canadian Army; the battle-hardened Commandos; the fanatical 12th SS Panzer Division ‘Hitlerjugend’; and the Luftwaffe Field Division. These new army lists add a whole new dimension of play; allowing you to create themed forces for your campaigns in Normandy!

We’ve also included a whole stable of new special characters; including the VC-winning medic Corporal Frederick Topham; who put life and limb on the line to rescue wounded men; and the fanatical Kurt ‘Panzer’ Meyer; who earned his Iron Cross leading the?Liebstandarte?division’s reconnaissance battalion in Russia. These special characters are the perfect opportunity to theme your force further and make for amazing conversion opportunities.
