Veteran wargame reviewer M. Evan Brooks sums it up succinctly in his synopsis of this marginal underdog: “D-Day: The Beginning of The End is a wargame that portrays the amphibious invasion of Festung Europa, based on The Blue and The Gray engine— so much so that World War II formations can assume “square”. Need more be said as to historical validity? As a gaming experience, it ranked right up there with its history.” Disappointing, to say the least, and a thoroughly failed attempt by Impressions to create a “serious” wargame– something they have never been good at. Steer clear of this one, and play Gary Grigsby’s wargames instead.
