As always, I keep a geeklist to organize the games I plan to play (or sometimes merely mention) for my next Wargames To Go podcast. Comments & suggestions from listeners and everyone else are welcome!
I've wanted to do a series on D-Day for a long time. It started early in 2014, as I was anticipating my vacation to Normandy that summer. The vacation happened...but the podcast never did. Well, it was overcome by other events, and put on the back burner. I always knew I would get to it sometime. Clearly there would be no shortage of interest in the topic, games to play, books to read, movies to see (again), and so on. Well, that day has finally arrived! I look forward to exploring this topic through wargaming in the months of April-May-June 2018!

Might as well start with the biggie. Big in the sense that it's one of the landmark games on the subject, as well as kind of big for me to get to the table. But I might be able at GMT's warehouse weekend.

I think I may have almost everything for this. It should be a good convention/multiplayer option, yeah?

These Attactix games are a mixed bag. Worth a look?

Even though it's a solitaire game, I expect I'd play this with a buddy.

I've got this, and it's August 44 expansion (which I think expands the scope into Cobra, which sounds like a topic for another time).

Designer Danny Holte specializes in D-Day games. This is his lightest game on the topic, I believe.

Picked up this old one from a Consimworld seller a few years ago, IIRC. Designed by John Hill.

Found a few more D-Day magazine games in my collection. I’m eager to try this one, especially, having had a chance to visit this location.

I played this long ago. Though I like the idea behind the Smithsonian series (deluxe versions of simple wargames), I haven't loved playing all of them. Gettysburg '88 is a clear favorite, but others...
It's been so long since I played this one, though, that I should try again.

But don't be fooled by the radio, the TV, or the magazines. They'll show you photographs of how your life should be but they're just someone else's fantasies.

Go this one in today. Most likely A more involved game then I want but I hear good things about the game and Designer. I believe I have heard Mark Simonitch on your Podcast.
