About D-Day Replayed: Operation Overlord

Listed Under Gaming Events / Days Out Events

One for the WW2 fans. D-Day Replayed tells small stories from the largest amphibious assault ever known. We’ll be replaying those small stories, and some events of the following days, in miniature. By that, we mean in the form of tabletop wargames.

Commemorating the 80th anniversary of Operation Overlord, this campaign weekend takes place over two days and five games at the single platoon level. By taking part, you will command your forces as one of 40 players battling across 20 tables.

Stirlingshire has a small story of its own during the preparations for D-Day. A replica Atlantic Wall was constructed on the Sheriffmuir hills. This was one of five known replica walls which were used for training exercises in the UK during the run-up to D-Day.

This event is about remembering what was and asking what if. Victory or defeat won't rest on the shoulders of one officer. D-Day Replayed is about team results. As such, we intend that this event is a friendly one rather than hyper-competitive.

We welcome new and experienced Bolt Action players, though we suggest you get some training at Common Ground Games in Stirling beforehand!
