Description
A few weeks after D-Day, a U.S. Ranger Company lost in Normandie has to confront the terrifying power of the Nazis' Cult of the Black Sun. Allied with an ancient Deep Ones tribe, the Cult of the Black Sun is preparing a dark ceremony to summon the great Cthulhu.
Shadows over Normandie is a squad/platoon sized game based on the Heroes System and is totally compatible with the Heroes of Normandie board game. The game features three opposing armies controlled by the players. These forces include the German Cult of the Black Sun, the ancient Deep Ones, and theU.S. Rangers. Each force is made up of infantry, tanks or creatures and of course, heroes and villains. Each unit has its own set of uniquecharacteristics and skills depicted on the high quality chunky tokens.
Players use order tokens to determine initiative and to bluff. While a single six-sided die determines combat, action cards are played to spice things up. Secretly plan your attacks and outwit your opponent. Block the opposing strategy and surprise the enemies. Deployyour units and don't turn back!

Shadows over Normandie | |
Excellent jeu de style wargame, mais sans les miniatures qui peuvent parfois coûter une fortune. On parle ici du même style que son frère Heroes of Normandie, mais avec une touche Cthulhu qui est très intéressante. Personnellement je préfère cette version à l'autre qui est plus fidèle à la deuxième guerre mondiale. |

Un "light" war game? | |
Les gros War games à la Warhammer, jeux lourds, longs et inaccessible pour la plupart des gens car cela prend un investissement autant en temps qu’en argent. Ce ne sont pas des jeux pour tout le monde, détacher les figurines, les peindres, s’assurer qu’elles respectent les normes. Avoir assez de points dans son armée etc etc. Shadows over Normandie annule tous ses défauts. C’est un « spin-off » d’Heroes of Normandie de la même compagnie mais dans l’univers d’HP Lovecraft donc Cthulhu etc. Donc un mix de 2e guerre mondiale et Cthulhu Wow quoi demander de mieux! Donc le jeu contient 3 armées, il est donc possible de jouer à 3 joueurs pour un prix raisonnable selon les différents scénarios. C’est le principe des war games mais plus simple donc le but détruire l’armée adverse et remplir les objectis des scénarios, c’est stratégique et il faut utiliser le terrain à son avantage. Beaucoup d’iconographies se présentent par contre, chaque unités à en moyenne 5 a 10 icones sur la tuile de son unité il faut donc les connaitrent et cela peut être intimidant! |
