This is one of my simpler games. The Fields of Normandy 2 and The Fields of Normandy XL work on a similar system but are progressively more complex and may be better starting points for those with experience of wargames or solo gaming generally. The Fields of Normandy: A Solitaire Wargame is an accessible, portable, solitaire "hex and counter" style wargame in a book. Instructions and colour game maps are included; the player just needs to bring a pencil, 2 standard six-sided dice and an eraser. Nothing else is needed to play. The player's task is to order rifle squads, machine gun teams, mortar teams and PIAT teams across the map to achieve the objectives, countering any enemy threat which is found along the way. The game rules reveal, position and attack with enemy units whilst you focus on your objectives. There are 15 missions across varied maps with random enemies providing plenty of re-playability as the Allied push into Normandy in World War II is re-created. -description from the designer
