Memoir '44 is a unique historical game where players command a horde of little plastic Army men facing-off in dozens of WWII battles on an oversize hex game board.
Each battle scenario mimics the historical terrain, troop placements and objectives of each army. Deploying forces through a variety of Command cards, the smart commander uses the unique skills of his units - infantry, paratroopers, tanks, artillery, commandos and resistance fighters - to its greatest strength.
Easy to learn and fast-paced, Memoir '44 requires strategic card play, timely dice rolling and an aggressive, yet flexible battle plan to achieve victory!
Memoir '44 - Campaign Book: Volume 1
This book is to enhance the Memoir ‘44 series.
The Memoir '44 Campaign Book invites you to relive the conflicts of World War II in all of their staggering scope and intensity. Included are more than 50 new scenarios and advanced campaign rules covering three Theaters of Operations throughout the War: The Battle for Normandy in the summer of 1944, the Blitzkrieg to the West in 1940, and Operation Barbarossa on the Russian Front in 1941.
The new campaign rules let you play scenarios in succession, with the outcome of each battle impacting what follows: each success brings you closer to victory, while defeats will deal you temporary set-backs, or worse, the possible complete rout of your Army!
With the Memoir '44 Campaign book, you'll step into the boots of Montgomery, or head out at the front of a German column to try and throw the Allies back to the sea. Unleash your Panzers onto hapless Belgium and France, or advance into the frozen steppes of the Soviet empire.
The Battle for Normandy can be played without any expansions, but you will need tiles from Memoir '44 - Terrain Pack and Memoir '44 - Eastern Front for Blitzkrieg to the West and Operation Barbarossa.
One of the twelve campaigns also requires Memoir '44 - Air Pack, which is recommended, though not required, for the other campaigns.

Memoir '44: Mediterranean Theatre
This is an expansion for Memoir ‘44 and requires the base game to play.
On the day war broke out, few nations imagined they would soon be forced to conduct land warfare outside of Europe. As a result, when the war reached North Africa, both men and machines were ill-prepared for the harsh demands of a desert campaign.
But history is a testament to the caliber of leadership, ingenuity and resolve of those who fought under such harsh conditions. Thanks in part to its long-established presence in far-flung corners of the globe, no army would display these qualities better than the British Commonwealth Forces.
