Shadows Over Normandie: Achtung Cthulhu

Das Brettspiel Heroes of Normandie erhällt einen Ableger mit Tentakeln!

When Heroes of Normandie & Achtung! Cthulhu meet for a boardgame, it gives you Shadows over Normandie, a new epic tale of World War 2.

Shadows over Normandie is a squad/platoon sized game based on the Heroes System and is totally compatible with the Heroes of Normandie boardgame.

The game features three opposing armies controlled by the players. These forces include the German Cult of the Black Sun, the ancient Deep Ones and the US Rangers. Each force is made up of infantry, tanks or creatures and of course, heroes and villains. Each unit has its own set of unique characteristics and skills depicted on the high quality chunky tokens.

Devil Pig Games are currently in development of this game for release Christmas 2014, but would like to extend the print run AND add in more content free of charge for backers of the original Heroes of Normandie Kickstarter who chose to receive this game.

Each turn is divided in three phases.

The first phase is about giving hidden orders to your units.

These numbered counters allow the players to choose in which order their units will act to surprise the enemy!

The second phase is all about the action.

Shadows over Normandie is not one of those old fashioned games where you sit, waiting for the other guy to finish his move and fire actions. In Shadows over Normandie, players activate units alternatively. This gives the game its heroic feeling. It’s fun, fast and… bloody.

The third phase is the Reserve phase.

All units that were not given orders are allowed to move. No unit will be left untouched, although these units do not get to fire.

Die Jagd auf die Stretch Goals hat begonnen, das Spiel wurde bereits erfolgreich finanziert.
