	Description Edit \| History

From the Days of Wonder website:

Go deep behind enemy lines at Sword Beach as you airdrop in to capture the bridges of the Orne… Join Guderian’s famed Panzers as they battle the armored columns of the British Expeditionary Forces… Sign on for Operation Crusader to take on Rommel in the deserts of North Africa and liberate the garrison in Tobruk…

The Memoir ‘44 Breakthrough Expansion will take you deep into the battles of World War II with two, double-sided, 9-panel board maps covering all four Memoir ‘44 map environments - countryside, beach, winter and deserts. These oversize boards stretch the limit of current printing technology and are 13 x 17 hexes deep, opening up the Breakthrough format to new, more expansive scenarios.

The Breakthrough Expansion includes 15, never-in-print-before scenarios, created by Jacques “jdRommel” David, and Memoir ‘44 author, Richard Borg. These scenarios cover the Western and Eastern Fronts, as well as the Mediterranean and Pacific Theaters and include classic battles such as: Operation Crusader; Operation Amherst; and two different renditions of Sword Beach - all designed for the 13 x 17 hex Breakthrough format.

Memoir '44 Operational Rules

As a variant, try these rules when playing scenarios that are more operational than tactical in scope, such as Prokhorovka or Operation Crusader in the Breakthrough expansion.

Battle of the Bulge Scenario

After more play-testing, I made further changes and added a set up page showing the units in this scenario with some rules. I play-tested this, and this is what it should have been in the first place! I am sorry for not doing enough play-testing before, I don't often get people to play M44 with. I hope you like this better than before.
