Heroes of Normandie Battle for Caen Overview

Golden Griffin on blue background is the patch of 43rd Wessex infantry division

FYI, battle pack I was Bloody Omaha. It was the primary expansion to Heroes of Normandy Base game. It added beach landing maps, Rangers, combat engineers, and more.

Ah. Thanks for letting me know

[@robertmoffitt1336]

I just ordered the two Caen expansions, and a bunch of other expansions! I missed the Pacific Kickstarter, but looking forward to that expansion as well. I took the Rock hero to be in reference to one of my favorite beloved comic book heroes growning up, Sgt. Rock. Before DPG came up with their storage boxes, waay back when... I stumbled upon empty necklace jewelry gift boxes, which were dirt cheap, and have used them ever since to store the various units in. P-Touch label them up with the unit info and they work great. They're virtually the same size as the DPG storage boxes. On the solo modual, the big bags; there is a Canadian company called Crown Royal that sells those kinda bags, and you get a free bottle of whiskey with them.

May I ask, where's the best place to purchase the core box and expansions now that the kickstarter is over?

Game looks great. Odd ball and the German tank commander are from the movie Kelly Heroes , nice introduction.

I did the all in on Caen they told me it included everything I need to play since I’ve never played . I hope I don’t need anything else

Happy Father's Day!

I think battle pack 1 was Omaha Beach.

Looking forward to your play of this, especially how you handle the orders system & cards solo. You should do the same for Black Reach given your enthusiasm for Warhammer 40K.

[@thegimpygamer]

I did play Black Reach and it's on the channel but from many years ago when my equipment and skills weren't as good. Plus there wasn't a solo system then or at least I didn't have it then.

[@ALimbOfGreatTree]

It’s actually a great game, too bad the company couldn’t make it. Almost everyone I’ve introduced this to was initially very skeptical, and then ended up living the game!

[@thegimpygamer]

@ALimbOfGreatTree I've spoken to the former heads of the company and from what I was told it was one rogue person who committed the scheme to defraud. Supposedly they were caught just as much off guard as we all were.

[@ALimbOfGreatTree]

@@thegimpygamer yes, I’m sort of aware of the picture. But appreciate the inside scoop. Btw, noticed a rise of videogame reviews on the channel… by all means do your thing, but from one Wargamer to another… KEEP THE WARGAMES COMING! We love them! Thanks 🙏

[@thegimpygamer]

@@ALimbOfGreatTree thanks! Yea I started including digital games, but I try to mainly focus on the strategy games like Panzer General and such. Sadly it's just so hard to grow if you stick to traditional wargames only. I do have a plethora of wargame videos coming though. Blitz in the East, handful of Compass Games titles, and LNL Publishings titles like Blood & Fury just to name a few.
