This trailer shows off Heroes of Normandie, an upcoming computer game based on the tabletop wargame of the same name featuring "neat tactical game mechanics and over-the-top comical WW2 characters." Here's word on the game, revealing a September 22nd release date:

Winner of the Origins Award in the Best Historical Board Game category last June, the team behind the board game Heroes of Normandie managed to bring a breath of fresh air in the table top wargame world, thanks to an original combination of neat tactical game mechanics and over-the-top comical WW2 characters.

Developer Cat Rabbit is now close to completing its risky mission of adapting the board game rules and atmosphere to digital platforms. The original game design based on quick and engaging battles is, in essence, a perfect fit for the video game world. So keeping the core mechanics and building scenarios in single-player and multiplayer modes able to exploit all of the subtleties of the numerous units and heroes in the game, became one of the top priorities of the developers. Three story-driven campaigns, a quick battle mode with lots of pre-designed maps and a very challenging Rogue mode come together for a colorful boardgame-ish experience in the bocage of Normandy.

Super villainous field marshall “Von Kamptz”, machinegun lover “The Rock” and the other crazy American, German and UK heroes will have their first virtual fight on September, 22 on PC! They will also use rocket launchers, tanks and plenty of weapons in the near future on iPad. We’ve just unveiled a batch of screenshots and a teaser trailer in order to give you the mood of what’s coming.
