The fate of the world hangs in the balance, as you struggle for control over the cities of Cherbourg, St. Lo, and Caen. Savage, quick, and decisive, D-Day was the major turning point in the European theatre, with liberty itself on the line. Designed for 2 or 3 players, Axis and Allies D-Day accurately captures this dramatic conflict and places you squarely in the middle of the greatest battle of the 20th century. This is an all-new stand alone extension of the Axis and Allies line featuring three-tiered complexity and a new, extra-large game board. ## Features - Detailed game components including a new blockhouse piece and an oversized game board - Includes a card deck with three card types - For 2-3 players - Plays in about 2 hours - Fun variation on a classic game ## Images ![Avalon Hill Axis & Allies D-Day - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6168yDujJ+L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I played the game D Day back in the early 70's. It allowed the Allied player to make a decision where to make the invasion. Is this game the same?** A: The US and British forces have a couple landing zones each. As you bring in reinforcements, you can decide which zone to place them. However, nothing says you can't switch up the rules so they are similar to what you played in the past. Of all the Axis & Allies we have, this is my favorite. Each game plays out really differently and the length of the game is reasonable. **Q: what are the cards for?** A: The game is card-driven. The cards direct the flow of gameplay by keeping track of the order of events in a given round of play. **Q: can 1 person play this game** A: No. Its a 2-3 person game. But i have taken on myself just to see how things would go. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The price is right! *by G***2 on July 2, 2013* I got this game for $30. At that price the next lowest-priced Axis and Allies two-player game (I'm talking Battle of the Bulge and Guadalcanal here) was going for over $100. That just means this has been reprinted, whereas the others have not. As far as fun goes it ranks second behind Bulge to me, but it is also simpler than any other Axis and Allies game while maintaining the series' distinct appeal. The optional third player is pretty much a non-option, because the game functions really well with two. The game only comes with precisely the number of pieces required, so make sure you don't lose any, although the sculpts (aside from the D-day-specific blockhouse) are the same as found in Europe and Pacific. The cards that dictate the order of gameplay are very simple to follow but offer enough layers to warrant repeated playthroughs, and the objectives are clear but there are certainly many ways to go about winning. Overall, a great change of pace for someone who likes the regular Axis and Allies games but can't spare the massive time investment those games require. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome game *by A***R on April 25, 2013* I love this game. Ive been an A&A fan for years. I moved on to the miniatures and Im completely addicted to the whole naval warfare side of things. Ive seen this game out for a while and thought id give it a try. Totally awesome. I like the card method of play. Its perfect for a game like this because there are so many other things to focus on other than game turn phases. The cards do this for you. Then when you move in the Fortune and Tactics cards to the mix, the game gets completely insane. Ive ran through the game a few times now and each time its been a completely different result. If you're an A&A player, then this is for you. Im going to get the other expansions now once i scrape up the change. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Starter Game for New Players *by S***L on October 11, 2014* A very tight timeframe for the battle and limited geography make the game compact and one that can be handled by new A&A players and completed in a reasonable amount of time. No grand strategy to make for the nations involved, all your forces are already set and when you get them is not related to production.The biggest flaw in the rules/play from my observation is the way the Allies use aircraft. In most history books of the D-Day landing and Normandy campaign, both the Allies and Germans view total Allied control of the air as the major turning point. Dues to the rules concerning how AA fire is handled many times the Allies find themselves short or out of aircraft. In reality, they had an unlimited supply of aircraft and crews as far as this battle was concerned. If the Germans have a little luck they can actually win the game, usually because they have wiped out the Allied aircraft.Play is step by step with many dice rolls. Very little creative thought from the players but a real flavor for grinding out a battle. The game becomes boring for the more advanced players but can serve as a good history primer for a beginner and sets the stage for the more complex games offered by A&A series.Due to the manner of play, it can be played solo. I have found the Allies can win in 20-30% of the times if played with competence and just a little luck on dice rolls. Usually the culprit is elimination of Allied air superiority. It is tough to protect the infantry on the beach from armor without a powerful air intervention plan.Not my most favorite A&A game but a nice change of pace and one you can break in a new/younger player with before moving on to more challenging games. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/9329042-avalon-hill-axis-and-allies-d-day](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/9329042-avalon-hill-axis-and-allies-d-day) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
