Decisive Battles of WWII: Battles in Normandy is a 2004 computer wargame developed by Strategic Studies Group and published by Matrix Games . It is the third game in the Decisive Battles of WWII series, following The Ardennes Offensive (1997) and Korsun Pocket (2003). A fourth game in the series, Battles in Italy , was released in 2005.
Gameplay [ edit ]
Set in World War II , Battles in Normandy is a turn-based computer wargame that simulates the conflicts between Germany and Allied forces that surrounded Operation Overlord .[1]
Development [ edit ]
The game features a new game engine different from that of earlier Decisive Battles games.[2]
Reception [ edit ]
Bob Proctor reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World , and stated that "it adheres tightly to the point of view of a Corps commander. It gives you data on weather, terrain, unit strength and condition but fails to provide any idea of combat odds or why a particular combat result occurred. You get a feel for this only after many games."[4]
GameSpot ' s Tracy Baker wrote, "Take one of the best operational-level World War II wargame engines ever devised, improve it, and cross it with one of the most compelling campaigns in military history, and you get Battles in Normandy ".[1] In Computer Gaming World , Di Luo argued that it "may be the best operational-level computer war game on the market today."[3]
The editors of Computer Gaming World named Battles in Normandy the 2004 "War Game of the Year". They wrote, "This operational-level look at the Normandy campaign is probably the best war game on the market and is a must-have for any war gamer's collection."[5] The game was the winner of the Best 20th Century+ PC Game Charles Roberts Award in 2004.[6] [7] Its release date was 15 September 2004.[8] [9]
