In D-Day Dice, players are soldiers trying to organize improvised units for an attack against the machine gun nest. Each player starts the game with a unit of a few soldiers and nothing else. As the game progresses, he will collect resources and advance on the beach, sector by sector, as his unit grows stronger and deadlier.

I refer you back to the initial description of the list:

"Board wargames that cover the D-Day invasion and/or the Normandy campaign"

given that Falaise is in Normandy, what's the problem?

The most expensive Avalon Hill game I know of. Perfect title for the length of it though.

A favorite Monster title. If this game were made today, it would be the first $1,000.00 war game published. Components are top notch which today's publishers can't match, with actual mounted map boards!

A long-time favorite of mine. A multi-player game can be finished in 70 hours (not too bad, really). Rules are very much on the simple side, which makes the game go smoothly. A few house rules are in order for the landings, but otherwise a great-playing game.
