Against the Odds #54: Monty’s D-Day

Against the Odds #54: Monty’s D-Day is a magazine-format wargame on the British and Canadian landings during the Normandy invasion.

Product Type: Magazine issue with included wargame.

Designed by John Prados, Monty’s D-Day returns to a classic design originally published in the 1980s, now revised and polished for its Against the Odds edition. The game focuses on the Commonwealth assault beaches and the wider operational challenge facing Montgomery’s forces on D-Day.

Players must manage the amphibious landings, airborne operations, German responses, and the race to secure objectives inland. The game is a companion to Bradley’s D-Day, covering the British and Canadian side of the Normandy landings while allowing players to explore the difficult balance between historical objectives, battlefield chaos, and alternative German reactions.

Scenarios can be played in a shorter sitting, while the full campaign gives a much broader treatment of the operation.

Contents include: one full-color 22” x 34” hex map, 280 full-color 1/2” die-cut counters, 14 pages of rules, 2 pages of charts and tables, and Against the Odds issue #54.
