Comments
The Greatest Day: Sword, Juno, and Gold is the first volume in a three volume series covering the battle of Normandy in June of 1944. It not only introduces a new theater but also provides version 2.0 updates for the GTS rules. Assaults have been streamlined, the artillery rules have been improved, and various other changes have been made to make this version of GTS an even better gaming experience.
The Greatest Day: Utah Beach is the second of three volumes in the Grand Tactical Series that covers the Battle for Normandy in June of 1944. The Greatest Day: Utah Beach includes a wide array of scenarios from the beach landings, to airborne troops seizing Carentan, to cutting the Cotentin Peninsula. There are small 8.5”x11” scenarios up to full campaign games stretching across the entire peninsula.
The Greatest Day: Omaha Beach is yet to be released and will complete the GTS D-Day experience.
GTS: The Greatest Day combines all 3 individual games into a single module that will ultimately allow all 3 games to be played as a single Monster campaign. As well as supporting the new Utah gameset, this new module includes many new Quality of Life improvements, as well as fixing all known issues in the original Sword, Juno and Gold module.
NOTE: GTS:The Greatest Day requires Vassal version 3.7.0 or higher to run.
