Memoir '44

Command history’s most famous World War II battles in “Memoir ’44” — a fast, strategic wargame that blends accessible gameplay with authentic scenario design.

Relive D-Day, Pegasus Bridge, and more in tense, card-driven clashes across a double-sided hex board. With stunning miniatures and intuitive mechanics, every battle feels cinematic and compelling.

How the Game Works

Each scenario features historical map setups and unit placement. Players take turns playing Command cards to issue orders by board section, then activate units for movement and combat. Dice rolls determine success, making every command a mix of strategy and chance.

Eliminate units to earn Victory Medals. First to reach the medal goal wins—or team up in Overlord mode to orchestrate large-scale wars. Scenario variability keeps gameplay fresh and historically grounded.
