Slitherine announces today is D-Day for Heroes of Normandie, a World War II strategy game which centers on the invasion of the region also known as Normandy. You can pick this up through the Slitherine website, where they offer a 33% launch discount along with this launch trailer showing off the game. They also plan a live stream on their Twitch channel starting at 2:00 pm EDT (20:00 CEST) today. Here's more on the game, and yes, that's a Kelly's Heroes reference:

Like Sgt Oddball who saw the last river bridge blown up by Allied fighter-bombers in his binoculars, Heroes of Normandie fans saw the release date of the PC version pushed back a couple of times. But today is the day and finally PC players can get their hands on this adaptation of one of the most engaging and light-hearted board games released recently!

Developer Cat Rabbit has been focused on faithfully reproducing the core mechanics of the original version, which had the feel of a video game : fast-paced turns, a clear set of rules and a wide range of units with specific weapons and abilities. On top of that they introduced crazy characters in a new way from the 3 different armies (USA, Germany and the Commonwealth), and built brand new game modes to make the best use of the gameplay. 6 campaigns, a skirmish mode, 2 very challenging Rogue campaigns and a multiplayer mode where players can select pre-set forces or assemble their own army, come together for a furious and funny tactical experience.
