D-Day: The Beginning of the End

D-Day: The Beginning of the End is a turn-based wargame developed by Impressions Games and released for DOS and Amiga in 1994.

As you can imagine, the game recreates the scenario of the Normandy landings that happened on Tuesday, June 6, 1944 (D-Day) during World War II.

The gameplay is similar to another title by Impression Games, The Blue and the Grey. You can play as the Supreme Allied Commander or the Axis Commander. The game starts precisely on June 6, 1944, and the first thing to do is decide your generals. After that, you can play the D-Day landings, or other battles, until you free Europe from the occupation of the nazis.

The graphics are straightforward, with units identified by letters. But this is not a game you play for the visuals. D-Day: The Beginning of the End excels for attention to detail, historical accuracy, and the battle system. Sharpen your tactical and micromanagement skills; if you are a fan of the genre, you have to try it.
