Memoir '44 Campaign Book in February

A hardcover book packed with campaign rules and new scenarios for the World War II game Memoir '44 is scheduled to be available in February, according to publisher Days of Wonder. The 112-page, full-color Campaign Book: Volume 1 introduces extensive new campaign rules that allow Memoir '44 players to play a group of scenarios in succession, with the outcome of each battle impacting the next.

Campaign Book: Volume 1 covers 12 different campaigns in three theaters of operation: Battle for Normandy in the summer of 1944, playable with the base game; the Blitzkrieg to the West in 1940, which uses the Terrain Pack expansion; and Operation Barbarossa on the Russian Front in 1941, for use with the Eastern Front expansion. Along with the advanced campaign rules, over 50 new Memoir '44 scenarios are included. Also included are new Unit and Reserve markers, additional game tokens, and nine new unit, weapon and terrain cards.

"This is our first expansion designed by the fans for the fans," Eric Hautemont, Days of Wonder CEO, said in a press release. "It fulfills a long-standing request for campaign play, giving players a chance to become part of the giant chess match that pitted the Allied and Axis commanders against each other across the battlefields of Europe."

Campaign Book: Volume 1 is scheduled to sell for about $30.
