Battles in Normandy vs Godzilla

Battles in Normandy is a historically‑accurate turn‑based strategy game that puts players in charge of Allied operations during the 1944 Normandy invasion. The game features a hex‑grid map, realistic unit statistics, and a deep order‑of‑battle system that rewards careful planning. Developed by Strategic Studies Group and published by Matrix Games, the title offers both single‑player scenarios and multiplayer battles, allowing enthusiasts to recreate historic engagements or devise their own tactics against friends.

In this retro turn‑based strategy game you command military forces across a 25‑grid map of Japan and surrounding waters. Your mission is to locate and destroy the monster before it reaches Tokyo, or the game ends in disaster. Each turn you can launch land, sea, air, missile or atom bomb attacks, or reposition troops, with outcomes shown for casualties and damage. The atom bomb wipes out all life in the surrounding eight squares, but using it near Tokyo ends the game instantly.
