OVERLORD: D-Day and the Beachhead Battles is an expansion module for The Killing Ground: Campaign for Normandy, July-August 1944 that covers the period from June 6, to July 5, 1944. This 30 game-turn module links directly to The Killing Ground with an additional map, playing pieces and rules. It may also be played as a single map, stand alone game. In either case, the original The Killing Ground game is required to use this module.
OVERLORD: D-Day and the Beachhead Battles is divided into three stages, each with a different sequence of play.
1. D-Day: June 6, 1944
2. OVERLORD: The Build-up
3. The Killing Ground
D-Day: June 6th, 1944 sequence of play is used only on game-turn one. OVERLORD: The Build-up sequence of play starts on turn 2 and ends the Game-turn in which both Allied nationalities have completed their depots. The Killing Ground: Campaign for Normandy, July-August 1944 sequence of play starts the turn after the depots are completed. The rules from the original Killing Ground game are used throughout the Build-up except were noted. The rules for D-Day and OVERLORD are in addition to and supersede the standard Killing Ground rules until the end of the Build-up.
