Day of Days!

Did you know: D-Day, by Avalon Hill, published first in 1961, was the first war board game to introduce an hex overlay over the map board

I thought I'd try to see what happens if the D-Day landing would take place at Calais coastline, as the Nazis were made to believe. Well, it did not work any better than the 1943 Dieppe raid.
