I managed to snare a pre-order from Second Chance Games on this.
I've still not managed to find a copy of Normandy '44 yet...still looking.
I like to have a collection of games that use a similar system - helps with understanding the rules.
-
And only today Second Chance Games in the UK put up preorders for the 3rd printing of Normandy '44
Done :bigthumb:
-
Hope you don't have to wait too long for it ;)
I notice he has 'France '40' up for pre-order as well. That has been OOP for a very long time.
-
I've got plenty to keep me busy ;D
-
I know that, mate, but as a friend, I just felt it my duty to let you know about it, since its part of the same family of games ;)
-
Roger that.
I see it also made the cut on GMTs website.
No money has been taken that I can see - so no harm done. I'll continue looking for a second hand copy - but they're like rocking horse poo poo. If I do stumble across a copy, I'll cancel the pre-order.
There is a copy on sale on BGG from a guy in Spain. It was put up a month ago. They want double what it's being sold for new. I did make contact, a couple of times - but no joy. Spain has some additional spikes in Covid 19 - so I'm wary to contact again being sensitive to their current situation.
I'll keep looking.
-
oh - and D-Day at Omaha has shipped :bigthumb:

Update on this...
Money was taken at the beginning of August.
I contacted SCG and they said they've been informed it's at the printers and so probably released around October.
I fully expect it to not arrive until Jan or Feb - so if it comes before, I'll be a happy bunny
-
I did not need to know France '40 is a thing

How long has France 40 been on pre-order Bob?
-
A VERY long time :(
-
I just bought a first edition used copy from BGG.
I like this engine, so I want the other games (well France '40 and Normandy '44 - I don't have space for Stalingrad '42)
-
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'm not sure if you're helping him or not. :P
-
Of course I am. :whistle:

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

Someone's taking the piss :)
I saw those...2000 edition though. I kind of fancied a 2nd edition of i wasn't waiting on a reprint
For that price though
-
;)
-
I got a 2nd edition one from BGG for 90 euros
You're a bad boy bawb...a bad boy boy :applause:
-
;D That I am - its like buying games by proxy!
-
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.
