"Breakout: Normandy" is a complex two-player wargame on the Allied invasion of France in World War 2.
The game concentrates on the initial landings and the subsequent breakout attempts.
The German player tries to prevent a successful Allied landing, and if that fails, to contain the beachhead.
The Allied player wins by establishing a beachhead, or (better) by successfully breaking out of the landing area.
The mapboard depicts the Normandy area where the initial landings took place.
Units are regiments and brigades, representing infantry, airborne, armour artillery, anti-tank and anti-aircraft units.
The game uses the area-impulse system used in Storm over Arnhem, Thunder at Cassino and Turning Point: Stalingrad.
