Memoir '44

From Days of Wonder, the creators of Ticket to Ride, comes the very popular war game, Memoir '44. The selection of command and tactic cards and dice throws determine the course of the military maneuvers. It won The Wargamer 2004 award of excellence.

From Boardgamegeek: “Memoir '44 includes over 15 different battle scenarios and features a double-sided hex game board for both beach landings and countryside combat. Each scenario mimics the historical terrain, troop placements and objectives of each army. Commanders deploy troops through Command and Tactic cards, applying the unique skills of his units – infantry, paratrooper, tank, artillery, and even resistance fighters – to their greatest strength.... [According to game designer Richard Borg], ‘The game mechanics, although simple, still require strategic card play, timely dice rolling and an aggressive yet flexible battle plan to achieve victory.’”
