RE: Normandy '44 any good?
Well, we've made into the evening of the 6th of June and the game is going well. It's quite interesting how the game so far is mimicking real life. The US forces have really battled to get off Omaha and took some horrendous casualties in doing so, just like the real thing. Likewise the British forces are nowhere near Caen at the end of day 1, just like the real thing.
I'm playing as Axis and the striking aspect of this game is the level of Allied air interdiction (again, just like the real thing). Moving units to the front is terrifying, with many units arriving with less than 60% or 70% of their TOE. Allied airpower in general is insane. A German infantry unit was hit with two airstrikes, causing losses of 42 and 49 men respectively, in a unit of around 150 men. Ouch.
