	Description Edit \| History

Bodyguard Overlord is a simulation of intelligence, deception and preparations preceding the Allied Invasion of Normandy in June 1944 and their effect on the subsequent course of military operations. The emphasis of this simulation is on the often overlooked "fog-of-war", the tendency for information to get mixed up in the heat of a campaign.

Bodyguard Overlord rules precis

This is an A5 booklet. To assemble it correctly, follow the instructions on the file 'properties > summary' menu/tabs. Note that it contains rule information regarding small changes I have made to this game and should be used in conjuction with the review also posted by myself on the game page. Also included are two sets of 'ticker-tape' style radio messages for use of both players.
