Memoir '44: Breakthrough

Parachute your men far behind the enemy lines to take control of the Orne bridges behind Sword Beach ... Lead the Guderian Panzers in a fierce battle against the armored columns of the British forces ... Relive Operation Crusader while fighting against Rommel's Afrikakorps in the sands of the desert ... and lead many more in-depth battles with these Breakthrough platters!

The Breakthrough Plateaux Expansion for Memory 44 will take you on a journey through the great operations of World War II. You'll find two large-format, double-sided, 13 hex by 17 boards, with which you can play large-scale battles on any terrain (countryside, beach, winter and desert)! These trays are made of 9 panels and have been printed to the largest size that the current printing technologies allow. The Breakthrough format opens up to new scenarios!

15 scenarios, mostly unpublished, are included in this extension. They are the work of Jacques "jdrommel" David and Richard Borg, the author of Mémoire 44. From the bocages of Normandy to the Pacific atolls, through the African desert and the steppes of Russia, these scenarios cover multiple theaters of operation and retranscribe famous battles such as Operation Crusader, Operation Amherst, or the Landing of Sword Beach, provided in two different versions.

The Breakthrough Tray Expansion is an extension for 2 players and can not be used without a copy of the Core 44 game. The other extensions of the game are also highly recommended as most Breakthrough scenarios use it. That said, for scenarios that require few elements of these extensions, players can find alternatives.
