So I was listening to the latest SU&SD podcast of Fantasy Game Nights and of course it reminded me of this:
and I think it ought to be possible to do Memoir '44 as PBF without too much trouble.
It’ll need a referee to handle the card decks though. I’m happy to do that, plot the maps, and so on. Looking for a couple of players… if you know the game so much the better, because I don’t.
My eventual goal is obviously a 6 8-player Overlord-type game.
I’d be keen to give it a shot. I have a copy but not played it with others yet and just tried a couple of two-handers myself.
My FOMO is terrible! Too many PBFs going on!
I know the game.
I can’t do this one as well, I will watch and offer sage advice
I’d definitely be up for it. I know the game - play it online quite regularly

OK, let’s say @gmwhite999 and @Griffster77 for this test game.
Any preference for sides? Or scenarios? They seem to recommend Pegasus Bridge.
There’s not a lot going on in Pegasus Bridge and it’s pretty heavily weighted towards one side (US? Can’t remember).
If it’s a first go, make sure everything works game then it’ll be fine, but otherwise I’d try something that gets tanks and artillery involved.
Scenario recommendations from people who know the game are welcome. 
Battle of Arracourt has got a lot going on. All of the tanks
Moyland Wood is a three star rated scenario with circa 50/50 win rate for Allies and Axis
“The German opportunity to hit the 4th US Armor Division with a concentrated blow was foiled by poor map reading and a French farmer.”
Excellent
I’ve not played that scenario, it looks excellent. The sandbags and the German Specialist tanks will need explaining
But happy to play Arracourt if thats what decided - it does have a 65%/35% weighting to the Allies tho
tbh I was having trouble with that website, the scenarios in the base game were ‘classified’ and Arracourt was the first one I recognised that I could see!
I think you know the game much better than me (and I’m not playing)
There aren’t any special tanks?
Sandbags is pretty easy.
A unit in a hex with Sandbags is protected on all sides, not just along the hex-sides where
the Sandbags are placed. When a unit does not benefit from any protection for its terrain, the sandbags reduce the number of Battle dice rolled by 1 when attacked by Infantry or Armor. As usual,
Artillery Battle dice are not reduced.
◆ A unit hidden behind sandbags may ignore the first flag rolled against it.
I play on the Days of Wonder Memoir 44 app so can see all the scenarios and their current ratings
You can join for free if you like!
Aren’t there 2 German 4 tank units? There are 3 Moyland Woods so I may be looking at the wrong one
As far as I can see that’s the only thing that’s special about élite armour – they start with 4 strength rather than 3.
