The Fields of Normandy 2 (the sequel to The Fields of Normandy) is set in Normandy, France in 1944 and reflects loosely the conditions and situations faced by the US VIII Corps of the United States Army as it pushed inland as part of Operation Cobra. The fighting was intense and incredibly violent. German units were very well dug in and protected by artillery and mines. In the game, you will be controlling small groups of soldiers from a platoon, consisting of three Rifle Squads, a Machine Gun Team, a Bazooka Team and a Mortar Team. As the platoon Lieutenant, it is your job to command these squads and teams in order to clear the German defensive positions. The Fields of Normandy 2 is an accessible, portable, solitaire "hex and counter" style war game in a book. 12 Full colour mission maps, rules and a counter sheet are included (to be mounted on card). You will need to provide 2 or 3 six-sided dice. -description from designer
