I love the game. It is, however, more tactical whereas the regular game is more strategic (OK, I lifted that straight off of the avalon hilll site). It’s simple, quick, and damned tense and exciting, I find. A lot of opportunities for shouting! Plus, I love how it re-creates such an epic event. And, maybe I’m a little morbid, but it’s SO bloody :) Half the time I get shivers playing it, because it seems to show what hell the guys on the beach actually went through … but I’m pretty good at putting myself in the situation ;)
Anyway, I love it. It’s the most fun A&A game I’ve found thus far, and the guy I play with agrees. You hardly even have to read the rulebook - just do what the card tells you. But, this doesn’t preclude you from making many important decisions … overall, great game.
