D-Day

D-Day is a table top wargame, set on 6th June 1944, at the time of the allied D-DAY invasion. D-Day was programmed by Dagenham Design Cell on behalf of Games Workshop (now more famous for their Dungeons and Dragons games), in SuperBASIC.

The game D-Day has four scenarios - two based on the area around Caen, in Normandy, and two based in and around Arnhem. Here, you can control either the Allies or the Germans as they fight to gain control of the bridges and forge ahead towards Arnheim.

You could elect to play the set scenarios of 50 units per side, or set up your own default units to start on each side.

A much enhanced version of the game was written by RWAP Software and released as DDay MKII.
