I believe no serious list of D-Day computer wargames can be complete without Atomic Games / 360’s V for Victory titles Gold Juno Sword as well as Utah Beach, the titles that got me into true wargames on the computer. They had a very unique mechanism that made supply more than just keeping lines secure. The calendar for air support was equally innovative. Dang, I miss Atomic Games’ brilliant wargame designs as much as I miss how young I was when I played them. A remaster or better yet an update would have me getting the wallet out.

Even though it is a recreation of the table-top game, Lock n’ Load’s Tactical Digital game system has some fantastic scenarios based on the D-Day landings and would be in my list.

I agree that both WDS’ SB: Eagles Strike and PB: Battles of Normand are fantastic games. Combat Mission’s intolerably old engine is also capable of some memorable gaming moments, but these days the better-maintained titles get my time.

Again thanks for the piece.
