Memoir 44 is loved by fans around the world of both war games and military history for its re-enactments of actual World War 2 battles.
NEW TO MEMOIR 44?
Don’t worry – it is easy to learn.
Memoir 44 is a fantastic strategy game which blends a perfect combination of strategy, tactics, dice play, and hand management. It is a turn-based hex war game that recreates actual battle scenarios from WW2.
The game involves two players and can typically be completed in less than an hour. The game involves dice, cards, and figures representing tanks, infantry and artillery. The battle map is divided into three sections, a center, and a left and right flank. The cards determine which of the three sections you can move your troops. The combination of which cards one possesses, which dice are thrown, and in what order it is all played, makes for a very interesting and challenging game.

General Howitzer
is a long-time veteran of strategy games, starting with chess, and then especially hex-based war games. This includes the old hex games using the small carboard chits to represent units with attack, defense, and movement points. It also includes the classic Axis & Allies, with the three day long games!, and complex, detailed rules. But they were all fun.
Memoir 44 is a perfect blend of strategy, tactics, luck and planning. With options for the table game, or the online versions, there is always an opportunity for great gameplay with friends and new friends online.
This website is a Strategy & Tactics Community for all fans of Memoir 44. Feel free to send in your scenarios & links to resources. Join the discussion on the Forum, and rate your favorite scenarios.
We want to remember and honor those who put their lives on the line, and fought for freedom in World War Two. May the memory of their sacrifices live on.
