There was a bloke selling a copy of Normandy '44 on Wargamers European Market Place a couple of days ago.

Did you add Ardennes '44 to your list - although its 2 maps of course. There is a Ukraine '43 as well :-)
I've got Ardennes '44. I wasn't sure I was particularly interested in Ukraine '43

Ardennes '44 was the two mapper I put out on my new desk to show case it's size. Still not big enough for Stalingrad '44 which I do believe i would've liked

As for Normandy '44, SCG have taken my money for a pre order...so I'll just wait patiently for that.  I haven't got Ardennes '44 out the box.  I don't even think I've punched the counters yet tbh...so I'm in no rush for Normandy. I can wait for it.

I didn't want to put another game on pre order due to my bad memory. I thought that might turn out to be a financial disaster

The system the games use is really very good.

Yeah.  I really like it which is why I wanted Normandy and France (I didn't know about France until you mentioned it...thanks bawb)

I might just pick up Ukraine '43 if I see it around on my travels

For that price though

The 2nd edition was going to cost £102 - I can't justify that if there's a first edition out there for £20.

Having said that - the 2nd edition details on GMT website said the rules were brought up to date to match Normandy and Holland....I wonder how different the rules are.

Anyway - this one is on hold for the moment.

YES! Well - sort of...my Normandy '44 mounted board has shipped


I'm assuming they will have the game from back order to. Hoping at least.

Well...the mounted map came. No sign of the game shipping.

One of my all-time favourite games, and the map is superb.
