October 1st will see the launch of our very first Kickstarter! Vanguard: Normandy will provide an authentic board game experience, one that combines our experience in crafting intense, strategic game systems with cutting-edge features found in modern board games.

Key Features:

  1. Fast Setup and Action: Each game takes just 5 minutes to set up, with a playtime of 90 action-packed minutes.
  2. High Replayability: With a huge variety of missions, a Solo Play Campaign mode, and diverse battlefields and units, no two games will ever feel the same.
  3. Ready-to-Play: Everything you need is included in the box— no painting or assembly required!

Set-Up The Battlefield:

With Vanguard: Normandy, we’ve designed a game that can be setup in 5 minutes or less.

Start by generating your battlefield using 9 sectors selected from 15 double-sided tiles. These tiles feature detailed, historically accurate illustrations of Normandy landscapes, including beaches, cathedrals, cities, forests, hills, and roads.

Next, select or randomly assign a mission and weather deck, adding even more variety to the game. Will your troops be storming a fog-shrouded town at dawn, or defending a hill under a scorching midday sun?

That’s it – you’re ready to play!

Choose Your Faction:

After setting up the battlefield, select your faction: the USA or Germany.

Each faction comes with fantastically detailed plastic unit tokens, designed to fit onto the 40mm hexes of the battlefield.

Track Your Army:

Your army’s resources, units, and battlefield control are managed on the Army Board, a streamlined console that not only tracks your units but also conveniently displays their rules and abilities.

Track your units, requisition and more with your Army Board.

Unlike traditional wargames, your army in Vanguard: Normandy evolves dynamically as the game progresses.

You’ll begin in control of 3 battlefield sectors, providing a modest income of ‘requisition’ and limited supply for unit recruitment.

As you conquer new sectors and spend requisition points, your available pool of units expands, allowing you to fill your Army Board with new, powerful units.
